Eyewitness Testimony
Loftus, Elizabeth F.
Applied Cognitive Psychology, v33 n4 p498-503 Jul-Aug 2019
The study of eyewitness testimony is thriving. Over the last three decades, psychologists have made important discoveries, and applied those discoveries to the legal system in myriad ways. Along the way, there were disagreements, which were typically healthy in nature. I discuss a few, for example, centering around the impact of misinformation on witnesses, the role of witness confidence and lineup procedures, and expert testimony. The "Memory Wars" were not so friendly, but hopefully the collective effort has helped to make the world a fairer place.
