Re:Repressed memory information

The attacks began with you, not me. You are using terms, accusations, and connotations that are spurious and/or personal.

In using the term "repressed memories" in quotes, which was NOT my term so I don't know why you used it in a sentence apparently quoting me, you are using negative connotatives deliberately. The literature that supports the emergence of traumatic memory has been using the term "dissociative" or "traumatic memory". Check it out -- its all there.

Loftus's research has been almost entirely on a non-clinical population. Her findings have been criticized extensively on this basis and others -- see for example Marlene Steinberg's critiques. Her contributions are significant and -- after a point -- misguided because she isn't working with a traumatized clinical population. One wouldn't expect to find evidence of emergent traumatic memories in a non-clinical population.

Your use of anonymity is transparent for all to see.
