Memory for a staged criminal event witnessed live and on video
Abstract
Memory for a staged robbery was tested in two groups of participants witnessing the event either live (n = 62) or on video (n = 64). Immediately after the event participants filled out a questionnaire probing memory with emphasis on the timing of the event and robber characteristics. The results showed that participants who watched a video recording of the event reported more details and with a higher accuracy than participants who were present on the scene, but the pattern of memory errors were similar in the two conditions. It is concluded that laboratory experiments may overestimate the memory of eyewitnesses but are otherwise able to simulate essential aspects of memory performance in naturalistic contexts.

In the citing paper
“For instance, results of a recent study by Ihlebaek, Love, Eilertsen, and Magnussen (2003) demonstrated that witnesses to a live staged robbery reported fewer details about the criminal event and with less accuracy than did witnesses viewing a video recording of the same event, even though the pattern of memory er rors was similar in both conditions.”

In the citing paper
“We agree with Ihlebaek et al. (2003) that results of laboratory studies may be an overestimate of eyewitness memory performance, especially we might add, when eyewitnesses are in a state of heightened stress.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
