The SERE study she refers to (Morgan et. al, 2012) was the best example (in my opinion) of her theories related to post event manipulation - and peer influence. These were 861 active duty special operators enduring highly stressful events for 3 days i.e., physical and mental torture, and they were mislead as easily as undergrads in previous psychology studies on campus. Dr. Loftus was well beyond her peers with the work she has done on memory; and specifically disinformation. Only recently, have cognitive psychologists started to understand what she knew 30 years ago - that memory is malleable, and goes through a process that consolidates short-term memory into long-term memory - and.... when new information is presented to the old memory, it reconsolidates the memory with the new information. and changes the underlying memory - even when the information is known to be false. This process is never ending. Consequently, no memory is immune to change, and we are all vulnerable.
taking a look at this study using the information that Dr. Gabor Mate presents in his research on childhood trauma i am intrigued thinking about what number of the people in your study have experienced childhood trauma. Gabor presents his observations of his patients illnesses with the connection to childhood trauma and notes to other doctors who have stated these same connections. unresolved childhood trauma is not being considered in the formation of disease as the medical school does not use these findings in its curriculum. i entertain the thought that the findings would show that the people who formed a memory or belief of the misinformation have experienced trauma in their life
There is a very important case of Lynn Crook she has a book called False Memories: The Deception That Silenced Millions By Lynn Crook. She criticizes the topic of "false memories", please investigate the case I mentioned above, it is very important since it demolishes several arguments that many people are believing, and that cause harm

The application of misinformation is like it's on steroids these days. Great introductory talk and bringing forth awareness to the phenomenon.

Nice research of madam Elizabeth.

I was abused as a teen, and I have validated information online about my abuser. Just found another one a few days ago. Lofthus is ridiculous.
This should be removed from the internet. The False Memory association closed in 2019 and she’s never given proof. This is irresponsible and harmful
Loftus & Palmer (1974) Car Crash Study
Loftus & Pickrell (1995) Lost in the mall study
Just 2 off the top of my head that are worth checking out!
What a crock
Could you purposely manipulate someone? Sure. So what is the point?
