Loftus and Palmer experiement one
- Different groups given different verbs to describe the crash. The verb given affected the estimate of car speed (smashed = highest contaced = lowest
- misleading info led to innaccurate recall
- experiment 2
- Participants given different verbs again and one week later were asked about broken glass
- misleading info changes info storage
EVALUATION
Loftus et al Stop/Yield sign-those who had consistent question= better recall
challenged by others who repeated stop/yield sign research misleading info affects retrieval
Yuille and Cutshall accurate recall despite misleading info (armed robbery, 4 months + misleading questions
Older have difficulty remembering the source of their info and therefore easier to mislead
