Document Summary
Eyewitness"s perceived information is stored in memory when it is retrieved as an identified suspect. This memory is declarative, meaning that it deals with semantic conscious access and episodic content, This means things perceived, the meaning, and sequence over a period of time. It is mediated by different brain systems from the things dealing in visual perception. It operates with different dynamics, but the result is similarly influenced by uncertainty, confidence and bias. Declarative memories are conceptualized with three core processes: Respectively, this refers to the placement of things in the memory, how they are maintenance, and the access to the information that"s stored. These aren"t passive or static processes that record, retain, and go into its contents in a vacuum of unaffected information by influences coming from outside. These contents shouldn"t be treated as a vertical permanent record, such as photos in a box.
