psychology of witness testimony  

Definición

  • Eyewitnesses are important to the legal system; they report crimes, identify suspects in police lineups, and testify in court. The accuracy of eyewitness testimony has received a great deal of attention from psychologists, who have determined that witness memory can falter at any stage of the process: encoding, retention, and recall.
