Product Details
- Every year hundreds of defendants are convicted on little more than the say-so of a fellow citizen. Although psychologists have suspected for decades that an eyewitness can be highly unreliable, new evidence leaves no doubt that juries vastly overestimate the credibility of eyewitness accounts. It is a problem that the courts have yet to solve or face squarely. In Eyewitness Testimony, Elizabeth Loftus makes the psychological case against the eyewitness. Beginning with the basics of eyewitness fallibility, such as poor viewing conditions, brief exposure, and stress, Loftus moves to more subtle factors, such as expectations, biases, and personal stereotypes, all of which can intervene to create erroneous reports. Loftus also shows that eyewitness memory is chronically inaccurate in surprising ways. An ingenious series of experiments reveals that memory can be radically altered by the way an eyewitness is questioned after the fact. New memories can be implanted and old ones unconsciously altered under interrogation. These results have important implications for court reform, police interrogation methods, defense strategy, and many other aspects of criminal and civil procedure. Eyewitness Testimony is a powerful book that should be required reading for trial lawyers, social psychologists, and anyone who considers the chilling prospect of confronting an eyewitness accusation in a court of law.

Cognition & Cognitive Psychology Editorial Review
Eyewitness Testimony: With A New Preface delves into the intricacies of memory, highlighting the significant impact of Elizabeth Loftus's research on our understanding of how memories are formed and the implications for legal systems. Loftus discusses that memory does not operate like a video recorder but is instead constructed from bits of information gathered over time, introducing the concept of reconstructive memory. The book connects experimental psychology to real-world legal issues, addressing how eyewitness testimonies can lead to wrongful convictions. Many readers have found this book invaluable for research and assignments, praising its accessibility and engaging writing style as it presents vital insights into psychological phenomena and the judicial process.
