This week we started learning about memory, including memory reconstruction. You read Loftus and Palmer’s landmark study on memory reconstruction. Were you surprised by the results? Why or why not? What do the results suggest about the maleability of memory? The second article surveyed experts in eyewitness testimony. Overall, how do the experts feel about the accuracy of eyewitness testimony? What is the role of an eyewitness expert? If this survey were to be completed now, in 2018, what topics could/should be added to this survey and why?
