Eyewitness Accounts are Often Distorted by the Views of Others

in psychology •  8 years ago 

An important thing to recognize, and something many are just not aware of. Most of us - probably all of us - have false or at least misleading memories of some form. I know for a fact I "remember" things from my childhood that actually happened to friends.

There's good reason we rarely put anyone in jail on eyewitness accounts alone nowadays.

Yeah, not on eyewitness account alone. But people can testify as to what happened.
