- Recalling
- Post event contamina-tion
- "Over time, the information from these two sources may be integrated so that we are unable to tell from which source some specific detail is recalled. All we have is 1 memory" LOFTUS & PALMER
- "Misleading information can be inserted into a stored memory" LOFTUS
- Weapon Focus
- When a weapon is involved in a crime, identification of the criminal seems much harder
- Loftus
- Threat of the weapon affects memory
- Pickel
- The unusualness of a weapon draws attention to it
- Distinctive Events
- Internal focus
- Focus on emotion can prevent storage of key details
- External focus
- Focus on the event itself, enabling storage of clearer memories
- Internal focus
- Context
- Context during event and content during recall are often very different
- Visualising the context of the event can help with recall
- Malpass & Devine
- 2 groups have to watch a video of vandalism
- Had to recall after 5 months, 1 group reminded of their initial reactions
- This groups recall was significantly better
- Unconscious transference
- Donald Thompson- Women identified him as her ****** but the programme was on in the background whilst she was *****
- Post event contamina-tion
