This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell) featuring the direct examination of an expert witness named Loftus (likely Dr. Elizabeth Loftus). The testimony focuses on the 'misinformation effect' in memory science, describing experiments where witnesses to simulated accidents incorporate false post-event information (such as a yield sign replacing a stop sign) into their memories, rendering them inaccurate.
