Document Summary
1. 12 vs. 6 jurors: size: - 1972 conviction with 6 jurors (failed appeal) 6 member juries used except in death penalty. Courts say 1 vs 5 = 2 vs 10. : - asking about the interaction between the age of the child and how susceptible they"d be. With an accurate reminder, their recall is high. If we change details, all age groups of children see a decline in their recall accuracy especially when they"re younger. Means that we have to be careful about how we discuss eyewitnesses and should be careful about how we question children so we"re not guiding the child toward a misleading story. External attributions (isolation, deprived of food/water, threatened, abused) 4. breakfast eggs experiment: - experiment done where children aged 3-12 were told a story using pictures of a young girl who got a stomach ache b/c she ate her breakfast eggs too fast.
