Loftus was on NPR and was asked to comment about a recent incident where some bystanders reported that a policeperson allegedly fired his gun at someone.Close examination,however, revealed that the shot heard was not from the policeperson's weapon.When asked why so many witnesses were in error, Loftus comments included that some people invent memories;she elaborated on the mechanisms involved.

Btw,does Loftus appreciate being called Liz?
I believe that friends and relatives call her Beth. Scott L can confirm.
However, you can try calling her Liz and see where it gets you. ;-)
I have known some professors who insist on being addressed as Elizabeth
Really? Did their first name happen to be Ralph? Just asking. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
