Document Summary
Loftus and palmer (1974) found that judgments of the speed of a car from a video of a collision depended on the verb used in the question. Participants were asked, about how fast were the cars going when they _____ each other? . The blank was filled in with either hit, smashed, collided, bumped, or contacted. When misleading post-event information becomes integrated with the original information. Can plant an entirely false memory based on one word. 7 eyewitnesses identified him as the perpetrator of serious armed robberies in delaware. Dr. thompson: psychologist who studied (ironically) human memory. Accused of sexual assault and brought in for questioning. Matched perfectly the victim"s description of perpetrator. Alibi: doing a live tv interview on how to better remember faces when this crime took place. Victim had watched the interview just prior to incident: unconsciously transferred information and described details of dr. Jennifer studied perpetrator as he was sexually assaulting her.
