Book Reading #29 - Opening Skinner's Box

Chapter 8: Lost in the Mall 
Summary:
Elizabeth Loftus challenged whether or not repression exists. She said memories can be implanted into people's minds, so some people were wrongly accused by people recalling traumas of long ago. Also there is evidence that people can be made to suggest that people can be made to believe they committed the trauma as well.
Discussion:

I liked this chapter a lot, again. I've always been skeptical of repression, but I don't think it's fair to say things like that when I've never been a victim to something like that. I really enjoy this book.
