Dr Andrea Greve is a Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at the University of Cambridge . Her research focuses on cognitive processes related to memory, prediction error, and learning mechanisms. Key areas of interest include declarative memory formation, semantic predictions, and the influence of novelty on memory retention. She has explored topics such as word learning in variable-choice paradigms, the role of hippocampal lesions in memory binding, and predictive coding in neuroimaging contexts. Her work integrates experimental psychology with neuroscience methodologies, particularly leveraging neuroimaging techniques to investigate memory systems. Notable contributions include studies on false memory effects, the nonmonotonic relationship between object-location memory and expectedness, and the impact of prior knowledge on memory encoding. Dr. Greve has also contributed to methodological advancements, such as improved MRI anonymization for MEG coregistration. While her research spans multiple decades, recent efforts (2023–2025) emphasize predictive frameworks and their applications in understanding cognitive phenomena like semantic surprise and episodic memory formation. Her findings challenge traditional assumptions about fast mapping in adults and highlight the importance of integrating computational models with empirical data. Dr. Greve collaborates extensively with neuroimaging and cognitive science teams, contributing to interdisciplinary projects that bridge theoretical and applied research in memory systems. Her work maintains a strong focus on methodological rigor, particularly in experimental design and data interpretation.

Elizabeth F. Loftus is a Distinguished Professor at the University of California, Irvine with appointments in the Department of Psychology and Social Behavior, Department of Criminology, Law, and Society, and Department of Cognitive Sciences. She also holds affiliate professor appointments in Psychology and Law at the University of Washington. As a Fellow of the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, she maintains active research programs across multiple disciplines. Dr. Loftus's research focuses on the malleability of human memory, particularly in legal contexts. Her pioneering work on the misinformation effect demonstrates how memories can be altered by post-event information, with profound implications for eyewitness testimony. She has extensively studied false memories, repressed memory phenomena, and the creation of memory distortions through suggestion, hypnosis, and other therapeutic techniques. Her research has challenged conventional wisdom about memory reliability and has been instrumental in legal cases involving eyewitness testimony. Analysis of her recent publications reveals consistent themes in cognitive psychology and legal applications, with particular emphasis on memory distortion mechanisms, source monitoring failures, and the creation of false memories through suggestion. Her work spans experimental psychology, legal psychology, and clinical applications, demonstrating how memory can be manipulated in predictable ways. Grawemeyer Award in Psychology (2005) American Psychological Association Award for Distinguished Scientific Applications of Psychology (2003) Member, American Academy of Arts and Sciences Member, National Academy of Sciences (U.S.) Dr. Loftus has been central to numerous high-profile legal cases involving memory reliability, including the Eileen Franklin case where she served as an expert witness. Her research has influenced legal standards for evaluating eyewitness testimony and has prompted critical examination of recovered memory therapy practices. She has been involved in litigation concerning false memory syndrome and therapeutic malpractice, with her research cited in numerous court cases. At UC Irvine, she collaborates with researchers in the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, bridging cognitive psychology with neuroscience approaches to memory research.
