List of Recovery Memory studies compiled by Lyn Crook: https://pages.uoregon.edu/dynamic/jjf/suggestedrefs.html
Lyn Crook is the author of, False Memories, The Deception That Silenced Millions, a book about her own successful lawsuit against her father (where Elizabeth Loftus was an expert witness), and subsequent research into the validity of recovered memories. As the title suggests, Crook’s book is also a critique of the False Memory paradigm
