Confirmatory Interviewer Feedback in Suggestive Interviews Involving Forced Fabrications
Eyewitnesses forced to fabricate during an eyewitness interview about events they never witnessed can later develop false memories for information they knowingly fabricated. Two experiments were conducted to assess whether confirmatory interviewer feedback (e.g., “that's right!”) would increase the extent to which participants would incorporate fabricated causal events into their freely reported eyewitness accounts 1 week later. In Experiment 1, …
Can suggestions of non-occurrence lead to claims that witnessed events did not happen
In three experiments, we examined whether general suggestions of non-occurrence -suggestions that experienced events did not occur- would lead participants to claim that events they witnessed never happened. Participants viewed a video depicting the investigation of a child kidnapping case and subsequently were exposed to suggestions of non-occurrence either once (Experiments 1 and 3) or three times (Experiments 2 and 3). The results provided no …
The Impact of Multifaceted Questions on Eyewitness Accuracy Following Forced Fabrication Interviews
Lawyers will frequently use complex-question forms, such as multifaceted questions (single questions that contain both a true and a false proposition), when cross-examining witnesses, and prior research has shown that use of such questions reduces testimonial accuracy. The present study extends this research by using a forced fabrication paradigm (Chrobak & Zaragoza, 2008) to assess how multifaceted questions might affect eyewitness suggestibilit…
Memorial consequences of forced confabulation
Numerous studies have demonstrated that exposure to misinformation about a witnessed event can lead to false memories in both children and adults. The present study extends this finding by identifying forced confabulation as another potent suggestive influence. Participants from 3 age groups (1st grade, 3rd/4th grade, and college age) viewed a clip from a movie and were "forced" to answer questions about events that clearly never happened in the …
