About this study
The aim of the study is to improve our understanding of how reliable eyewitness memory is, and about the factors that might make eyewitnesses more or less likely to be accurate in their memory for a crime. The experiment is divided into two parts, with the second half taking place after a 1-week interval. In part one participants view a slide sequence depicting a staged crime. Part two takes place one week later; in this part of the experiment participants are asked to make decisions concerning the staged crime viewed.
