EWT & Misleading information

What is the effect of leading questions on speed estimates?

• They have no effect.

• They make estimates more accurate.

• They affect speed estimates.

• They only affect eyewitnesses.

Which researchers are associated with the study of leading questions?

• Sutherland and Hayne

• Gabbert et al.

• Loftus and Palmer

• Skagerberg and Wright

What is one explanation for why leading questions affect eyewitness testimony (EWT)?

• Memory enhancement

• Response bias

• Increased accuracy

• No effect on memory

What does post-event discussion (PED) affect?

• Memory accuracy

• Speed estimates

• Memories of the event

• Witness reliability

What is one reason why PED affects eyewitness testimony (EWT)?

• Memory enhancement

• Memory contamination

• Increased accuracy

• No effect on memory

What is a real-world application of the insights from misleading information studies?

• Improving memory

• Enhancing speed estimates

• Police interviewing

• Increasing eyewitness reliability

What is a counterpoint to the use of film clips in lab studies?

• They are more realistic.

• They are less stressful than real life.

• They are more stressful than real life.

• They have no effect on memory.

What evidence is there against the substitution explanation?

• Central details are affected.

• Central details are not much affected.

• All details are affected equally.

• Only peripheral details are affected.

What does evidence challenging memory conformity suggest?

• Memory is always accurate.

• Post-event information does not blend.

• Post-event information can blend.

• Memory is unaffected by others.

What is an example of demand characteristics in lab studies?

• Increased stress

• Desire to be helpful

• Decreased accuracy

• No effect on memory
