Eyewitness testimony

Can we trust our memory? If you witnessed a crime, would your memory of it stand up in court? We are going to look at an area of memory research that has influenced legal practice. The experiments of Elizabeth Loftus and her colleagues were key in showing how unreliable eyewitness testimony can be.
Today's powerpoint is here.

You need to make your own notes on Loftus (1975), using your textbook.
