  • Profile of Elizabeth F. Loftus Bit of Mystery Surrounded Elizabeth Loftus’S Arrival at Stanford University (Stanford, CA) in August of 1966
    PROFILE Profile of Elizabeth F. Loftus bit of mystery surrounded Elizabeth Loftus’s arrival at Stanford University (Stanford, CA) in August of 1966. At Athat time, a female graduate student in psychology, especially mathematical psy- chology, was a rare sight. Fellow stu- dents did not know quite what to make of this talkative and engaging woman from Bel Air, CA, who was obviously talented but apparently disinterested in mathematical theories. In an informal poll, her colleagues at Stanford voted her least likely to succeed as a psycholo- gist, and soon a pool even sprang up to guess when Loftus would return to Los Angeles and pursue a more glamorous profession. Loftus never dropped out of graduate school, however, and almost 40 years later has managed to prove her doubters wrong. Currently a distinguished profes- sor in the Department of Psychology and Social Behavior and the Depart- ment of Criminology, Law, and Society Elizabeth F. Loftus at the University of California, Irvine (Irvine, CA), with additional appoint- ments in the university’s Department of people can be falsely convinced that programs in mathematical psychology.

  • S 1959 Articles: the Zeitgeist, the Sociology of Science, and False Memories
    Psychonomic Bulletin & Review 1998,5 (4), 615-624 Remembering Deese's 1959 articles: The Zeitgeist, the sociology of science, and false memories DARRYL BRUCE Saint Mary's University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and EUGENE WINOGRAD Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia Two contemporaneous reports by J. Deese-one concerned with correct recall (l959a), the other with recall intrusions (l959b)-have differed dramatically in their citations to date. The differences represent an unusually compellinginstance of the operation of the scientific Zeitgeist.The article deal­ ing with correct recall was congruent with the Zeitgeist of memory research when it was published. Hence it flourished. Just the opposite was true of the article on intrusions, which by the mid 1970shad gone into eclipse. A markedly different Zeitgeist in the 1990s, however, led two investigators simulta­ neously and independently to adapt Deese's intrusion method to the investigation of false memories. Boring (e.g., 1959/1963b, 1963a) has argued that the spective of the Zeitgeist is that in the first instance, the Zeitgeist is the primary determinant of developments in times were not congenial to the new information, but science. By the Zeitgeist of a science is meant its pre­ later on they were. It is not difficult to produce examples vailing theories, facts, problems, and methods, as well as that may be interpreted in this way. A classic one is the the values, opinions, and attitudes of its practitioners and proposal by Aristarchus (ca 260 BiC.') that the earth is the societal context in which it functions. This climate of not the center ofthe universe but just another planet that thought and opinion, Boring contended, both advances revolves about the sun.
