A researcher investigated the susceptibility of eyewitness memory to post-event suggestion. Participants watched a video of a minor two-car accident.
In Condition 1, 12 participants were asked immediately after the video to estimate the distance between the two vehicles after they stopped, in metres.
In Condition 2, 12 other participants read a mock police report containing misleading details before they were asked to estimate the distance between the two vehicles after they stopped, in metres.
