Aim: To investigate the effect of misleading information on the accuracy of EWT
Method: 45ppts shown a film of a car accident
5 conditions (smashed, collided, bumped, hit and contacted)
Estimate the speed of the car
Results:
Smashed (41mph) Collided (39mph) Bumped (38mph) Hit (34mph) Contacted (32mph)
Conclusion: Being exposed to misleading question post-event, it can distort the witness' memory unwillingly]]> 2017-03-01 19:26:58 UTC https://padlet.com/l0022679/7r089i2kxmkl/wish/157148775 l0022679 https://padlet.com/l0022679/7r089i2kxmkl/wish/157150706 2017-03-01 19:32:16 UTC https://padlet.com/l0022679/7r089i2kxmkl/wish/157150706 l0022679 https://padlet.com/l0022679/7r089i2kxmkl/wish/157150914 Gabbert et al
Aim: To investigate the effect of PED on accuracy of EWT
Method: Ppts were shown a video of a crime. Two conditions, same footage from two different perspectives.
Ppts in the exp condition were allowed PED and the ppts in the control condition were not.
Every ppt sat a recall test
Results: PED (71% recall of false information). No PED (0% false information recalled.)
Conclusion: Witnesses go along with each other whether they are right of wrong (memory conformity)]]> 2017-03-01 19:33:02 UTC https://padlet.com/l0022679/7r089i2kxmkl/wish/157150914 l0022679 https://padlet.com/l0022679/7r089i2kxmkl/wish/157152828 STRENGTHS
(I) The research is highly reliable.
(E) The research uses lab experiments with standardised procedures. The Loftus and Palmer study kept the environment the same and kept the film the same for both conditions.
Gabbert et al study used the same questions in the recall test.
(C) This means that the research is replicable. We can accurately conclude that misleading information does distort EWT

(I) The research has practical applications
(E) This is because it has been used to warn the justice system about the problems with EWT.
Research in this field has led to the cognitive interview which has been proven to be more effective than EWT
(C) This means that the research can be praised as it helps to stop wrongful convictions.

WEAKNESSES
(I) Lab experiments are low in ecological validity
(E) This is because watching a video is not the same as witnessing a crime in real life.
A person would not experience fear and anxiety when watching a video clip
(C) This means that the findings cannot be generalised to real life situations

(I) There are contradictory findings for some of the real life evidence.
(E) Yuille and Cutshall investigated witnesses of a real life robbery. 4 months after the robbery, witnesses were asked to recall the event. This interrogation included 2 misleading questions which had no effect on the accuracy of the event.
(C) This means that misleading questions may have less influence on real life witnesses than they do on participants in an experiment.]]> 2017-03-01 19:38:17 UTC https://padlet.com/l0022679/7r089i2kxmkl/wish/157152828 l0022679 https://padlet.com/l0022679/7r089i2kxmkl/wish/157159779 2017-03-01 19:55:48 UTC https://padlet.com/l0022679/7r089i2kxmkl/wish/157159779 l0022679 https://padlet.com/l0022679/7r089i2kxmkl/wish/157160142 Aim: To investigate whether anxiety can have a positive effect on EWT recall when the event involved a real threat
