PROCEDURE 1

A
  • Participants watched 7 films of traffic accidents 5-30 seconds long

Q

FINDINGS 1

A 
smashed=40.8 MPH
collided=39.3 MPH
bumped=38.1 MPH
hit=34.0 MPH
contacted=31.8 MPH
17
Q

FINDINGS 2

A

smashed=16/YES,34/NO
hit=7/YES,43/NO
control=6/YES,44/NO

18
Q

OVERALL CONCLUSION

A
  • Response bias factors - different speed estimates occured cause speed estimate influences their decisions
  • Altered memory - critical word pollutes memory so perception of accident is affected
  • Gleaned during perception - what the individuals experienced
  • External information - leading questions may contaminate memory creating new recollections

Q

EVALUATION-METHODOLOGY

A

+Highly controlled - extraneous variables controlled to detect if IV was having a direct influence on DV
+Decreases order effect due to the 5 conditions and independent groups
-Artificial environment lacks ecological validity when applying findings to real world
-Potential individual differences
+195 participants makes for a more accurate generalisation

21
Q

EVALUATION-PROCEDURE

A
  • University setting students are alert as they are in an educational institute and affects ecological validity
  • Video does not initiate biological responses which may affect accuracy of recall
  • Participants aware they are in a study so they may exhibit demand characteristics
22
Q

EVALUATION-FINDINGS & CONCLUSIONS

A
  • Foster found that if participants thought they were watching a real life robbery , identification of robbery was more accurate
  • Yuille & cutshall found witnesses of armed robbery in canada gave accurate depictions 4 months later even with 2 misleading questions
23
Q

EVALUATION-ETHICAL ISSUES/SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS

A
  • No informed consent participants must be aware of study risk of demand characteristics
  • Deception was mild and necessary for more valid/accurate results
