This episode moves through cognitive psychology, developmental science, and forensic interview methodology. This episode: establishes that basic cognitive science demonstrates that memory is constructive, not reproductive; discusses Elizabeth Loftus’ research as to what happens when that constructive system is subjected to systematic adult suggestion; reviews the Satanic Panic period and the McMartin case that shows what happens when institutional contexts amplify suggestion on a mass scale; and then maps the mechanism directly onto the alienating parent’s operation on the child’s memory system.
