MEMORY MANIPULATION By Jenny &Huibin Purpose In 1974 researchers designed an experiment to test the reliability of memory, and whether it could be manipulated after the fact. Elizabeth F. Loftus Elizabeth’s Experience At a family reunion, an uncle told her that at age 14 she found her mother’s drowned body. Experienced the reality of sexual abuse at 6 years old. Procedure Loftus and her student Jacqueline Pickrell performed an experiment in which they gave participants four short narratives describing childhood events, all supposedly provided by family members, and asked them to try to recall them. The lost in the mall experiment has been replicated and extended with different ages of subjects. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQr_IJvYzbA Discovery Some conclusions drawn based on the lost in the mall technique (specifically that leading questions can create false memories of child sexual abuse) have been criticized. Change Her pilot study of the lost in the mall technique has been criticized for the ethics used in acquiring subjects and for being used to draw inappropriate conclusions about false memories and therapeutic techniques.
