As of the article and weekly reading had pointed out one of the implications of human memory in relation to eyewitness accounts in court cases could potentially be wrongful incrimination. As in chapter 8 of the textbook as well as article listed in this week's forum form there're several factors that can affect memory, with the overarching theme of the malleability of human memory.

One of the factors that can affect memory is suggestibility. As stated in the Reading the way and interviewer formats a question, their demeanor and encouragement can affect a person's response or recall of an event. Certain phrases or connotations can affect a person's response to a question, which would be a leading question. This can be seen in a study where

    Criminal Justice System By Kali Holloway: Article Analysis

    Also, memory schemas can affect eyewitness testimony. For example, as stated in Matlin’s Cognition (2012), past view point or schemas can affect present day perceptions. If an eyewitness consciously or unconsciously believes that a certain group of individual are more violent or are more likely to commit crimes than that schema can cloud their perception of the crime they witnessed. Cognitive psychology has extensive research on why eyewitness testimony is unreliable. Holloway’s argument could have been stronger if she incorporated some findings on eyewitness testimony by cognitive psychologists.…

    Gauci's Negative Influence On Eyewitness Testimony

    Collectively, the highlighted negative influences on eyewitness testimony can lead to false memories about the event and in turn, false convictions. The Lockerbie bombing case is just one of countless cases presenting significant cause for doubt that there has been a miscarriage of justice (BBC News., 2002). Particularly in this case, eyewitness testimony was the predominant reason for incarceration. Gauci, (the eyewitness in this case), was exposed to multiple visuals of Al-Megrahi, (the suspect), before the line-up procedure. As mentioned earlier, post-event information can have a clear impact on the individual testifying; most specifically making that particular suspect more familiar to the witness.…

    Creating False Memories Summary

    In recent years there have been a number of malpractice lawsuits filed against psychiatrists and counselors claiming that “false memories” had been implanted in patients, thus causing turmoil and anguish in the patient’s lives, as acknowledged in the article, “Creating False Memories” by Elizabeth F. Loftus. Loftus adds that the victims in all mentioned cases in the article were awarded substantial settlements. The author asserts that research is revealing how “suggestion and imagination” can cause an individual to generate recollections of experiences that never really transpired. Consequently, the article conveys that through hypnosis and suggestive techniques repressed memories were actually found to be fabricated recollections that had been evoked and rooted by therapists. Loftus questions…

    False Induction Argument Analysis

    In this article by Susan Clancy, Richard McNally, Daniel Schacter, and Mark Lenzenweger. They take a look at the memory of those who have a claim to be abducted by aliens. Throughout this article the researchers wanted to test four hypotheses with regard to false recall and false recognition and produced a thesis statement that stated, "those reporting recovered and repressed memories of alien abduction were more prone than control participants to exhibit false recall and recognition. The groups did not differ in correct recall or recognition. Hypnotic suggestibility, depressive symptoms, and schizotypic features were significant predictors of false recall and false recognition" (Clancy, McNally, Schacter, Lenzenweger, 2002).…

    Eyewitness Identification In 'Murder On A Sunday Morning'

    Eyewitness Identification In 'Murder On A Sunday Morning'

    Eyewitness identification relies upon the eyewitness memory and the ability for him or her to retain that information and reporting it straight to the police. Memory is considered as evidence because information is being gathered and encoded in memory. Over time the storage holds in the encoded information in the brain until retrieval occurs so the brain can have access to the information. Although memory is not accurate, errors can occur throughout the process of encoding, storage, or retrieval. Even images and sound can deteriorate over time, which makes it hard to recall them back.…

    Why Is Eyewitness Testimony Reliable

    Eyewitness testimony is an account given by people of an event they have witnessed. It is the least reliable yet most relied on source of information that juries use. Even though eyewitness testimonies are generally unreliable, they do have a long history and are still used in court as official evidence; they also provide detailed insight to an event or incident with can help in investigations. Eyewitness testimony can help identify the possible suspects, especially when there is no video or audio recording evidence because it can construct a sequence of events. According to the theory of reconstructive memory people do remember the general occurrence of the event.…

    Not Criminally Responsible (NRC)

    Not Criminally Responsible Crimes (NRC) has been highly studied and a popular topic of conversation in the past ten years. Due to a rise in media coverage of said crimes, public opinions have seemed to increase as well. To engage in the ongoing conversation about NRC, one must first understand what it means to be Not Criminally Responsible. According to Maeder, Yamamoto & Fenwick (2015), “the verdict [of NRC cases] means that the court has ruled that the accused was not criminally liable for his or her actions at the time the offence was committed”. Overall trends on what has been published on the topic mostly revealed that attitudes toward the NCR defence were predominantly negative.…

    Judicial Blindness

    The author focuses on the judicial blindness of eyewitness misidentification of innocent defendants in the U.S. Judicial blindness refers to how the system refuses to initiate a proposal for reform of police procedures, that could in-turn minimize identification error. Viewed in this research are methods such as having lineups and photo arrays to be conducted in person by experts who do not know the suspect, thus minimizing suggestion. What goes un-noticed by the system is that eyewitness confidence levels can be boosted by even the slightest confirmatory action. The cases studied in this research include those where identification was important, defendants used their right to a trial and challenged the identification process, and also where the defendant appealed their accusers’ identification of them.…

    The testimonies gained from witnesses are considered a vital component when conducting a criminal investigation. The two imperative duties an eyewitness will be called upon is either to recollect details of an event (recall), or to identify the face of a person seen earlier (recognition). On the contrary, eyewitness memory is notoriously malleable where previous studies have demonstrated memory can be manipulated in several…

    Importance Of Eyewitness Testimony

    In conclusion, both an eyewitness and the reasonable person provide standards in the court of law that are used in determining whether to convict a suspect, as demonstrated by the eyewitness in the State v. Hendersen (2011) case. Unfortunately, both standards are based upon subjective perception. For example, human error in memory processing may decrease the accuracy in an eyewitness testimony. Research should be done on individual interpretation as it relates to an eyewitness or the reasonable person in order to prevent any wrongful…

    Review Of Elizabeth Loftus How Reliable Is Your Memory

    After watching How reliable is your memory? by Elizabeth Loftus, I believe that to a great extent, memory is not a reliable source of knowledge because it can be distorted, contaminated, and even falsely imagined. Memory decay, distorted memory, hindsight bias, consistency bias, the availability heuristic bias and suggestibility- are all problems that beset our reliance on memory. “I was there. I saw it.”…

    Children's Eyewitness Testimony

    Two major issues in long-term memory for children are increased suggestibility and errors in source monitoring. This means that they can take false information into their brain and keep that as an actual memory and they can have problems remembering the source of where they learned a piece of information. More and more studies have been conducted investigating the validity of children’s eyewitness testimony and strategies for improving their accuracy. Several studies have been conducted on the long-term memory effects of eye closure on children’s eyewitness testimony. Children can be informative witnesses, but the quality of information they provide is influenced by factors such as the kind of retrieval mechanisms engaged and the quality of communication between the child witness and the adult interviewer.…

    Episodic And Semantic Memory Essay

    Tulving’s persuasive theory of the two propositional memory types: Episodic and Semantic, have been pivotal in the research and study of Long-Term Memory for over four decades (Brown, Creswell, & Ryan, 2016). Semantic memory provides us with the memory needed for the use of language, whereas episodic memory focuses on the autobiographical events that can be explicitly recalled. There are many differences in these two memory sub-types that further differentiate them from one another. In addition to the differences between these two declarative memory types, we will also discuss the evidence for the distinction between episodic and semantic memory, both behaviorally and with the brain. Episodic memory is a type of memory that is associated…

    Reconstructive Memory Essay

    When one thinks of memory, they usually think of past events that happened or something that they had learned. Although one can recall certain memories, can they recall every single detail? This semester, we were asked to recall the events of a day that happened six weeks prior to the beginning of class. While some students could explain some details of what they had done that day, not all could be certain. Details may not seem to be that important when telling a story from a childhood experience or maybe the retelling of a joke, but what if a person was made to recall a memory that took place six weeks ago?…
