Title: Memory source monitoring and eyewitness testimony
Abstract: When called upon to testify, eyewitnesses must distinguish between memories of their experience of the event in question and memories of other sources of information about that event. The latter might include memories of their own or other people's descriptions of the event, memories of thoughts and fantasies related to the event (before or after its occurrence), and general knowledge and beliefs. Thus a question such as 'Tell me what happened on the afternoon of Wednesday, June 24th, 1992" might serve as a retrieval cue for a wealth of memories in addition to those of the witness's own experience that fateful afternoon.
