• Resumen

  • George interviews psychologist Elizabeth Loftus about how she collects accounts of false memories, how this happens, and what exactly is going on when people retrieve a memory. Loftus relates how she ended up studying false memories and how she studied the process of creating false memories. In addition, she explains how susceptible people are to having these types of memories implanted and reveals the current focus of her research. Lastly, she discusses how recollections can be conjured up, and how this process could even be used in therapy.
