Consider what psychological research has told us about the accuracy of eye witness testimony. (18 marks) (May 2002 Paper)  Not needed. This paragraph simply restates the question, so is wasting time.  This paragraph is all AO1 and no AO2.  We have the same problem here, all AO1 and no AO2.  There is an attempt to evaluate here, but it is at a very shallow level and will not score high on AO2.  Again evaluation attempted but only weakly.Eye witness testimony differs from other forms of memory because in eye witness testimony great accuracy for events and faces are needed. The research carried out to date has told us that this accuracy is important. This is what Loftus found in her work. She examined eye witness testimony in two different research projects. Loftus showed participants slides of two cars which eventually were to crash. She asked one set of participants if they had seen a broken headlamp after they had seen all the slides. The other group were asked if they had seen the broken headlamp. What she found was that more people said yes they had when asked if they had seen the broken headlamp. She then did another piece of work using a video of two cars involved in a crash. The people who watched the video were split into different groups and asked the same question in a different way. One group were asked what speed do you think the cars were doing, when they hit each other? Another group were asked what speed do you think the cars were doing when they collided with each other? What Loftus found was that the stronger the tone of the sentence e.g. hit or collide or smash, the faster the people said the cars were travelling. This means that while accuracy is important in eye witness testimony it is possible to make people change there minds by altering the way in which the questions are asked. Loftus asked people if they saw the broken headlamp, by sating this she was more or less telling them they should have seen a broken headlamp. By the same token by asking what speed cars were doing when they smashed into each other she was suggesting the cars must have been doing a faster speed than if they were when she asked what speed they were doing when they hit each other. In conclusion it is true to say there is a need for accuracy in any eye witness testimony. You can change peoples ideas simply by asking them leading questions. That is why now people use a different form of questioning called the cognitive interview.  iklm8;<=iguCJjCJUmHnHsH u B*ph!jB*UmHnHphsH u B*CJphjUmHnHsH u 6CJ]CJ 5CJ\CJ>*Zijkm$If$If$If$a$$a$ $^`a$it89:;=i  9 : f g ef $$Ifa$$Iffghijklmnopqrstu$a$k$$Ifl0M&0c'64 la$P.
