The False Memory Debate in the Courts

The false memory debate in the courts

A) was basically ignored by psychologists interested in memory because the phenomena could not really be studied in the laboratory
B) did not interest psychologists because they would not be admitted as expert witnesses in malpractice suits involving allegedly false memories against mental health professionals who were defendants
C) stimulated an outpouring of research on whether false memories could be induced, whether forgotten memories could be recovered without distortion, and whether false memories can be reliably distinguished from true memories
D) led to research methods which over came questions of external validity, or the applicability of the research to the issues that arose in courts in the recovered memory debate
