Hall of Fame: The Meaning of Memory

Trapped History

Tune in to a fascinating Hall of Fame as Professor Chris French nominates Ellizabeth Loftus, a psychologist famed for her work on false, recovered and repressed memory.

It's not just Elizabeth's life story here — Chris fills us in on the theory of false memory (remember getting lost in a supermarket?) and the controversies around recovered and repressed childhood memories which she researched and challenged.

It makes for a powerful nomination and we believe this longer format justifies Elizabeth's inclusion in the Hall of Fame.
