Elizabeth Loftus Changed the Meaning of Memory

The article discusses the oddly selective memory of this legendary memory researcher, and omits the fact that she taught for years at California State University Fullerton, where I encountered her many times.

Are you attacking her, or the article, or both?

Whats the issue about her time at Fullerton?

What's her oddly selective memory. Her research speciality is memory, what are you trying to say about her?

Because I read this comment before I read the article it also didn't make sense to me.

Then I read the article and it did.

I feel like there should be a tick box, 1. "Have read the article", 2. "Have flicked over it" and 3. "Have not read the article"

I read the article. I don't get it. I read the article before I posted here. I read the wiki page about her as well, and went looking for her citation index.

Not an attack. Point of interest. About oddly selective... did you read TFA?

She never taught at Cal State Fullerton. Here is her CV:

Those of us in her classroom would disagree

What is it that you are trying to imply? Please be straightforward.

Her 50-page CV lists 4 speaking engagements in Fullerton in the last 50 years. No teaching or faculty positions.

I’m not sure why I always have to be implying something. I am stating a fact. She taught at Cal State Fullerton.
