You learned about multiple ways that forensic psychologists are involved in legal trials. One such way is assisting with eyewitness testimony. As you learned, there are a variety of theories about the accuracy of eyewitness accounts and how to assess the validity of these accounts. For your assignment, you will prepare a presentation designed to educate students in law school about eyewitness research. Your presentation should cover the following:

Question 1: Explanation of the cognitive processes involved in eyewitness memories.

Question 2: Discussion of the variables that impact memory (age, context, proximity to crime, stress, intoxication).

Question 3: Exploration of the procedures used to gather eyewitness testimony and their impact on eyewitness accounts (questioning, perpetrator line up, interview dynamics, demand characteristics).

Question 4: Explanation of special populations of eyewitnesses and their suggestibility.
