In this podcast episode, I sat down for an in depth conversation with Elizabeth Loftus.
Elizabeth is a distinguished Professor of Psychological Science, Law, Criminology, Cognitive Science and Law and Society at the University of California, Irvine. She is known for her groundbreaking work on false memories and their application to eyewitness testimonies. She has consulted or testified as an Expert Witness in over 300 cases, including very high profile cases such as Ted Bundy, O.J. Simpson, Michael Jackson, the Mendez Brothers and many more.
The discussion mostly focuses on the misinformation effect, false memories and their applicability.
