摘要: The four experiments reported here provide evidence that (1) misleading postevent suggestions can impair memory for details in a witnessed event and (2) subjects sometimes remember sug-gested as things seen the itself. All used recall tests which were warned of possibility information included sug-gestions instructed to report both what they was men-tioned narrative. Recall poorer on misled items than control items, misidentified sources their recollections. Our re-sults suggest these findings are not due guessing or response biases, but rather reflect genuine impairment source monitoring confusions.
