Finally‚ Dr. Elizabeth Loftus has shown not only that it is possible to implant false memories‚ but that it is relatively easy to do so (Loftus‚ 1994).

Based on the computer analogy‚ cognitive psychology is interested in how the brain inputs‚ stores and outputs information.

When considering the female presence in The Pioneers by James Fenimore Cooper or The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain‚ representation is minimal. Though these novels are hyper-masculine‚ featuring a majority of male characters‚ the women in these novels are essential to the growth of the male protagonists. Without them‚ the stories remain one-dimensional and lacking a moral arch. Though the portrayal of the key female characters from these novels is not perfect‚ their traits play off
