Problems with Eyewitness Testimony

With this I want to talk about the problems with memory and how it can effect eyewitness testimonies and how they are not always accurate. I will provide studies on how ineffective the brain can remember things, even things that didn't happen. DRM paradigm (Deese-Roediger-McDermott) have been typically used to study false memory for semantic stimuli rather than non-semantic stimuli. In a study done by, Shimane Daisuke, he wanted to find out whether false memory can be produced by the SRM paradigm based on morphological characteristics using faces. He used lure items and new items to show differences in memory. The DRM paradigm showed that when using faces, false memory appeared for the lure items shown that were similar to the prototypical representation items. finding this, it could be correlated to the gist trace per fuzzy trace theory.

In another study done by, Katerina Georgiadou, they found that memory was effective when exposed for long periods of time with good visibility.

Ways to fix or not use during testimonies

With this I want to talk about ways we can change how eyewitness testimonies can be used in court or have either solutions and not use this.
