Memory is like a videotape, an exact representation of what happened. Memories can be influenced and changed by things that happen after. The wording of a question does not influence an eyewitnesses" response. Suggestive and leading questions have a big influence. The race of an eyewitness and perpetrator has no impact on identification accuracy. Better able to correctly identify a member of their own race - the cross- race effect.
