Protecting the innocent in eyewitness identification
Memory error speed predicts subsequent accuracy for recognition misses but not false alarms
The current study aims to test whether faster recognition memory errors tend to result from stronger misleading retrieval, making them harder to correct in subsequent decisions than slower errors, and whether this pattern holds for both miss and false-alarm errors. We used a paradigm in which each single-item Old/New recognition decision was followed by a two-alternative forced-choice (2AFC) test between a target and a lure. Each 2AFC trial had o…
Boosting confidence without boosting performance
People often express high confidence for misremembered sources. Starns and Ksander ([2016]. Item strength influences source confidence and alters source memory zROC slopes. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 42(3), 351-365; hereafter SK16) found that this happens more often when a person is highly confident in memory for the item itself, and that simply increasing item memory can increase high-confidence source e…
