Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Based on the available research on eyewitness testimony, it is unlikely that all participants will provide the same information, and they may vary on basic, specific details such as the subject's height or hair color. Memory decay, interference, and reconstructive memory can all impact the accuracy of eyewitness testimony. It is also unlikely that all participants' reports will be completely accurate if they provide their testimony immediately after the film clip.
