Discussion: Memory Distortions

/in /by

Consider eyewitness testimony, a facet of the judicial system that relies on the soundness of memory for its effectiveness. The following story demonstrates the grave consequences inherent in certain kinds of memory distortion.In the days following Jennifer Thompson’s 1984 rape by an unknown assailant, law enforcement officials presented her with a “photographic lineup.” It was composed of local individuals who loosely fit Thompson’s description, including one man the police considered a likely suspect in the attack. Police and the prosecution relied on Thompson’s eyewitness testimony as a critical building block in the case against Ronald Cotton. Thompson’s memory-based selection of Cotton’s image eventually brought him to trial as a defendant.Jennifer Thompson’s eyewitness testimony led to the conviction of Ronald Cotton for rape. Thompson described memorizing the details of her attacker’s appearance that fateful night so that she might later help to catch him. Based on Thompson’s testimony, the prosecution won, and Cotton received a sentence of life plus 54 years in prison.After serving nearly 11 years, Cotton was exonerated on the basis of DNA evidence. In the years since Cotton’s release from prison, he and Thompson have reconciled. They now travel together throughout the United States, speaking about the lack of reliability of eyewitness testimony in criminal cases. Unreliable eyewitness accounts of crimes serve as one example of memory distortion. Consider factors in the Cotton case that may have affected the accuracy of Thompson’s memory.In this Discussion, you examine factors that might influence and create distortions of memory. You also explain the potential consequences of memory distortion on eyewitness testimony.Reference:Innocence Project. (n.d.) Eyewitness misidentification. Retrieved April 25, 2012, from  http://www.innocenceproject.org/understand/Eyewitness-Misidentification.phpWith these thoughts in mind:Post a brief description of factors that might influence and create distortions of memory. Then explain how one of those factors might create a memory distortion. Provide an example to support your response. Finally, explain three consequences of memory distortion in the context of eyewitness testimony. Justify your response using the Learning Resources and current literature.Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

Stereotypes

Your text defined stereotypes as general images or beliefs we have about others and their belief systems, personalities or behaviors. Your text also noted that stereotypes can either be positive (e.g., believing that Asian Americans are mathematically minded and very industrious) or negative and can either be accurate or completely unfounded. Further, two types of stereotypes were discussed: Autostereotypes – or the beliefs that you have about your own group – and  Heterostereotypes – or the beliefs that you have about those outside your group.

Week four feedback

/in /by

Hello Barbara,Fantastic post for this week. The novel coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has created a great deal of scientific interest across a variety of fields. I find it admirable that you have chosen to focus on those who live in rural areas. One complication comes to mind however. According to Gravetter and Forzano (2019), a major methodological concern within the experimental method of research is that of participant drop-out, better known as arttrican. The authors stated that attrition can jeopardize the internal validity of a research design if sample sizes become overly disproportionate. My question to you is, how can researchers retain participants specifically in rural areas?
