Stressed for success? How acute stress affects eyewitness memory
Reports provided by eyewitnesses can be critical for police investigations, particularly when other evidence is limited. But how might the stress that people feel during the crime affect their memories?
Eyewitnesses are not immune to cultural influences
Witnesses and other interviewees interviewed in legal and investigative settings are not immune to their culture of socialisation. Various cultural norms may have implications for how people view, remember, and report about their experiences and how they behave in the course of cross-cultural interactions.
