A researcher investigated the reliability of memory in eyewitnesses. Participants watched a video clip of a minor traffic collision.
In Condition 1, 12 participants were asked individually to estimate the speed of the vehicle in miles per hour.
In Condition 2, 12 other participants took part in a brief discussion with a partner about what they had seen, and were then asked individually to estimate the speed of the vehicle in miles per hour.
One week later, all participants were asked to describe the appearance of the driver's clothing, estimate the driver's age in years, and estimate the duration of the collision in seconds.
