“…For instance, studies have investigated general beliefs about memory across the US (Simons & Chabris, 2011) and Norwegian public (Magnussen et al, 2006), as well as research psychologists, clinical psychologists, hypnotherapists, undergraduates (Ost, Easton, Hope, French & Wright, 2017;Patihis, Ho, Tingen, Lillenfeld & Loftus, 2013), and legal professionals (Benton, Ross, Bradshaw, Thomas & Bradshaw, 2006; Wise & Safer, 2004). Beliefs about memories of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) from the public (McGuire & London, 2017;Wessel, Eilertsen, Langnes, Magnussen, & Melinder, 2016), law students and specialist CSA prosecutors (Ernberg, Tidefors, & Landström, 2016) have received more recent attention. Results from this wide body of research constitute a wealth of evidence and converge towards a similar position: individuals who do not have specific understanding of the scientific underpinnings of memory are likely to hold a wide variety of beliefs.…”
