Question 38

During a review of a police force's training manual, a consultant objects to the following proposed instruction for rookie officers:

"To obtain precise details about a road traffic collision, officers should ask direct questions such as: 'How fast was the blue hatchback travelling when it smashed into the stationary van?'"

Explain how findings from Loftus and Palmer’s (1974) study into reconstructive memory could be used to support the consultant's objection.
