- Christianson and Hubinette: 58 witnesses from real bank robberies were questioned. Found those who were threatened the most were more accurate. Continued to be true even after 15 months.
- Yerkes-Dodson's law
- states recall increases recall until a certain point then it decreases

- Loftus et al: Used 2 conditions, condition 1 friendly conversation, pen, grease. condition 2 unfriendly conversation, blood, knife. Found recall was poorer in those in condition 2 due to weapons focus effect.
