Remembering Disputed Sexual Encounters: A New Frontier for Witness Memory Research
Journal of Criminal Law & Criminology, 2015Co-Authors: Deborah Davis, Elizabeth F LoftusAbstract:This paper reviews sources of distortion in Memory for sexual encounters, particularly those between intoxicated participants. We review factors leading to initial misinterpretations of sexual consent including the indirect nature of sexual consent communications, misleading cultural sexual scripts, misinterpretation of passivity, and others. In this context, we consider the way in which alcohol can both contribute to initial misunderstanding and promote specific distortions in Memory over time. Finally, we discuss additional influences on Memory, including motivations related to self-esteem, self-concept maintenance, or litigation, and the effects of social influence from sources such as friends, forensic interviewers or therapists.

recent advances in false Memory Research
Social Science Research Network, 2013Co-Authors: Cara Laney, Elizabeth F LoftusAbstract:In the last few years, substantial gains have been made in our understanding of human Memory errors and the phenomenon of false Memory, wherein individuals remember entire events that did not happen at all. Research had established that false memories can be consequential and emotional, that they can last for long periods of time, and that they are not merely the product of demand characteristics or the recovery of extant but hidden memories. These recent advances are discussed as extensions of earlier foundational Research.

current issues and advances in misinformation Research
2011Co-Authors: Steven J Frenda, Rebecca M Nichols, Elizabeth F LoftusAbstract:Eyewitnesses are often called upon to report information about what they have seen. A wealth of Research from the past century has demonstrated, however, that eyewitness Memory is malleable and vulnerable to distorting influences, including the effects of misinformation. In this article, we review recent developments in Research related to the misinformation effect, including individual differences in susceptibility, neuroimaging approaches, and protective interview procedures that may better elicit accurate event details. We conclude with a section on related false Memory Research.

false claims about false Memory Research
Consciousness and Cognition, 2007Co-Authors: Kimberley A Wade, Stefanie J Sharman, Maryanne Garry, Amina Memon, Giuliana Mazzoni, Harald Merckelbach, Elizabeth F LoftusAbstract:Pezdek and Lam [Pezdek, K. & Lam, S. (2007). What Research paradigms have cognitive psychologists used to study “False Memory,” and what are the implications of these choices? Consciousness and Cognition] claim that the majority of Research into false memories has been misguided. Specifically, they charge that false Memory scientists have been (1) misusing the term “false Memory,” (2) relying on the wrong methodologies to study false memories, and (3) misapplying false Memory Research to real world situations. We review each of these claims and highlight the problems with them. We conclude that several types of false Memory Research have advanced our knowledge of autobiographical and recovered memories, and that future Research will continue to make significant contributions to how we understand Memory and Memory errors.

thirty years of olfactory learning and Memory Research in drosophila melanogaster
Progress in Neurobiology, 2005Co-Authors: Sean Eric Mcguire, Mitch Deshazer, Ronald L DavisAbstract:The last 30 years have witnessed tremendous progress in elucidating the basic mechanisms underlying a simple form of olfactory learning and Memory in Drosophila. The application of the mutagenic approach to the study of olfactory learning and Memory in Drosophila has yielded insights into the participation of a large number of genes in both the development of critical brain regions as well as in the physiology underlying the acquisition, storage, and retrieval of Memory. Newer sophisticated molecular-genetic tools have further allowed for the specification and functional dissection of the neuronal circuitryinvolved in these processes at a systems level.Withthese advances in our understanding of thegenes, neurons, and circuits involved in learning and Memory, the field of Drosophila Memory Research is nearing a state of integration of the bottom up and top down approaches to understanding this form of behavioral plasticity. # 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

Toward ecologically realistic theories in visual short-term Memory Research
Attention Perception and Psychophysics, 2014Co-Authors: A. Emin Orhan, Robert A JacobsAbstract:Recent evidence from neuroimaging and psychophysics suggests common neural and representational substrates for visual perception and visual short-term Memory (VSTM). Visual perception is adapted to a rich set of statistical regularities present in the natural visual environment. Common neural and representational substrates for visual perception and VSTM suggest that VSTM is adapted to these same statistical regularities too. This article discusses how the study of VSTM can be extended to stimuli that are ecologically more realistic than those commonly used in standard VSTM experiments and what the implications of such an extension could be for our current view of VSTM. We advocate for the development of unified models of visual perception and VSTM-probabilistic and hierarchical in nature-incorporating prior knowledge of natural scene statistics.

enhancing the ecological validity of fmri Memory Research using virtual reality
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018Co-Authors: Nicco Reggente, Joey K Y Essoe, Zahra M Aghajan, Amir V Tavakoli, Joseph F Mcguire, Nanthia Suthana, Jesse RissmanAbstract:Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a powerful Research tool to understand the neural underpinnings of human Memory. However, as Memory is known to be context-dependent, differences in contexts between naturalistic settings and the MRI scanner environment may potentially confound neuroimaging findings. Virtual reality (VR) provides a unique opportunity to mitigate this issue by allowing memories to be formed and/or retrieved within immersive, navigable, visuospatial contexts. This can enhance the ecological validity of task paradigms, while still ensuring that Researchers maintain experimental control over critical aspects of the learning and testing experience. This mini-review surveys the growing body of fMRI studies that have incorporated VR to address critical questions about human Memory. These studies have adopted a variety of approaches, including presenting Research participants with VR experiences in the scanner, asking participants to retrieve information that they had previously acquired in a VR environment, or identifying neural correlates of behavioral metrics obtained through VR-based tasks performed outside the scanner. Although most such studies to date have focused on spatial or navigational Memory, we also discuss the promise of VR in aiding other areas of Memory Research and facilitating Research into clinical disorders.
