Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Loftus's research on eyewitness testimony found that the way questions are asked can influence the recall of an accident or crime scene. This is known as the misinformation effect, where information presented after an event can distort an individual's memory of the event itself. Therefore, option B is correct. Option A is incorrect because research has shown that memory is fallible and subject to errors. Option C is incorrect because there are concerns about the accuracy and reliability of memories retrieved under hypnosis. Option D is incorrect as it makes a blanket statement that is not entirely true. While emotions can affect memory, it does not mean that the recall is completely inaccurate.
