How Eyewitness Testimonies Can Be Inaccurate

The paper should be based on “How eyewitness testimonies can be inaccurate and how trauma and emotion play a role in the recollection of memory and misinformation”. Please provide examples of cases where people have been exonerated because of unreliable eyewitness testimonies, like Curtis Flowers and Brenton Bulter. Go into great detail about this cases. Below are the instructions:

You will write paper that aims to answer a question of your choosing.  I want you to analyze some of the ideas that we have talked about in this class (lecture, readings) in the context of the real world.  The idea is to apply theoretical or laboratory research and apply it to things you encounter outside of the lab.

Here are some potential ideas to get you started:

Examine a recent motion picture and discuss whether its depiction of various aspects of cognition match what you would expect based on laboratory research.

Devise an advertising campaign that would both make your product memorable and increase the chances that it was selected over competing brands.

Discuss whether research on decision making can be applied to everyday decisions like what movie to watch, car to buy, soft drink to drink, etc.

Examine a recent court case in light of research on eyewitness testimony. Were the procedures used by the police/prosecutors likely to produce accurate testimony from the witness?  How might this have influenced the outcome of the trial?

At first, students are happy when they are given the freedom of an open-ended assignment.  But, as you will find out, having to generate a question is much more difficult than supplying the answer to a question that is provided for you.  The benefit of an open-ended assignment is that it illustrates the main difference between being a scientist and being a student of science.  Students answer questions that are given to them.  Scientists devise their own questions and then try to answer them.  I want you to have an opportunity to devise your own questions.

Paper guideline: APA format for in-text citations & references, 7-9 pages (at least 7 FULL pages), double-spaced, 1-inch margins, with reference page (not included in the 7 pages).  Use academic sources for cited information.  Wikipedia is not to be cited or used as an academic source.  If you are unsure of what constitutes an academic source- ASK.
