We tend to recall in stereotyped ways
6 of 16
Tuckey & Brewer
Pps shown vids of bank robbery - recall features fitting stereotypes e.g. robbers are male & counter-stereotypes e.g. belief that all robbers have guns contradicted
7 of 16
Loftus et. al
Support weapons effect - 2 versions of customer in restaurant (1 - gun, 2 - cheque book) - pps who saw gun focused on it & less likely to identify perpetrator

Pickel
Unusualness of situ provides focus on weapon, not the weapon itself

Loftus & Palmer
LQs can distort memories for events, verb used in Q can alter speed ests. and expected consequences

Loftus & Zanni
EWT open to distortion - 'did you see the/a broken light?' - 'the' - 2 x more likely to say yes
15 of 16
Yullie & Cutshall
Real-life events - more difficult to distort people's memories - supports view that Loftus lacked eco validity
