Question

Your text's discussion of eyewitness testimony illustrates that this type of memory is frequently influenced by all of the following EXCEPT:_______.

a. failing to elaboratively rehearse these kinds of events due to fear.
b. inattention to relevant information due to the emotional nature of these events.
c. source-monitoring errors due to familiarity.
d. increased confidence due to postevent questioning.

Answer 1

The correct option is

a. failing to elaboratively rehearse these kinds of events due to fear.

Step-by-step explanation:

Research on eyewitness testimony explains that the eyewitness's confidence in their selection of the suspect is increased by the authority's confirmation of their selection on viewing a lineup, although the selection is wrong.

There is a chance that the effect of false information continues, even though the participants are told that the post-event information is incorrect. Flashbulb memory explains how intense the emotional event heard by the person remains, however the event is not essentially correct over time.
