Såpass! Det missade jag i allt svammel om icke bevisade företeelser. Det är för övrigt inte heller bevisat att SB INTE styrde morden medelst tankeöverföring medan han skötte kiosken. Telekinesi vore kanske något för E.Merckx att fundera på?
Men jag har missat något här. Vad är det i Loftus forskning man använt i domstol? Förlåt om jag kanske vill ha något som redan är skrivet, men jag tappade bort det.
Det är väl bara att läsa vad dom skriver i undersökningen.
"While Lost in the
Mall makes no claim regarding theories pertaining to children and
adults regarding suggestibility and memory, there have been many articles, as well as
attempts by lawyers and expert witnesses in legal proceedings, suggesting that
Lost in the Mall supports the idea that false memories of abuse can be implanted
in children and adults.
To the extent “acceptance” can be measured by the amount and content
of those articles, it is fair to infer that the study’s theories and conclusions have not been generally accepted because a majority of commentary rates the study as unreliable and lacking in sound methodology.
In Crook and Dean’s (1999) 25 critique, for example,
Lost in the Mall is described as
lacking in support by the relevant scientific community simply because the study had not been
examined to ensure that the research was conducted properly and reported accurately.
Others have said that
Lost in the Mall lacks general acceptance simply because, although
it has been demonstrated that a person can be made to believe falsely that a past
event occurred, (Hyman, Husband, & Billings, 1995) 26 such studies are not generalizable
in terms of supporting claims about all types of memories.
Memories such as being lost in a mall are commonplace, relatively benign and plausible.
Memories of significantly different events, such as sexual abuse, are not similar enough to
memories of being lost in a mall such that conclusions about the ability
to implant one type of memory allow conclusions to be drawn about the ability to implant the
other.
Indeed, studies that attempted to implant false memories more akin to sexual abuse
resulted in a success rate of zero. For instance, Pezdek and Roe (1997) 27
attempted to implant false memories of participants receiving rectal enemas as children. However, they reported 0% successrate, whereas they were able to persuade 15% of
study subjects to believe, falsely, that they had once been lost in a mall.
Overall, though a number of studies have demonstrated that false memories can occur,
the data clearly shows that the type of event falsely recalled is significant and that being made to
falsely recall getting lost in a mall has no bearing on whether a person can be made to falsely
recall something as different and significant as
sexual abuse. (Berliner & McDougall, 1997; Porter & Marxsen, 1998) 28.
Because the possibility that people can be made to develop false memories for
traumatic incidents similar to sexual abuse has not been reliably studied, much less
demonstrated, it cannot be said that
Lost in the Mall, to the extent it supports
the theory that people can be made to falsely recall sexual abuse, has been
generally accepted by the relevant scientific community
. (Porter, Yuille, & Lehman, 1999) 29"
