Exposure to misleading suggestive questions can distort adults' memory for single events, but it is unclear whether this also the case following a repeated event, such as domestic abuse and sexual harassment. Participants viewed one (single n = 56) or four videos (repeated event) depicting abuse. One-week after only, final instance, participants were exposed about non-experienced details, before providing recall report target instance. Repeated-event either prompted last instance (n 55),...

A key phenomenon in inductive reasoning is the diversity effect, whereby a novel property more likely to be generalized when it shared by an evidence sample composed of diverse instances than similar instances. We outline Bayesian model and experimental study that show effect depends on assumption samples were selected helpful agent (strong sampling). Inductive arguments with premises containing either or nondiverse presented under different sampling conditions, where instructions filler...

This study examined the effects of bystander or victim intoxication during a crime on juror perceptions and decision-making. Mock jurors ( N = 261) read testimony from to an assault, who mentioned that they had consumed alcohol, cannabis, amphetamines, no substances prior crime. Participants delivered verdict, rated defendant’s guilt, bystander/victim their honesty, credibility, cognitive competence. Witness witness role did not influence defendant guilt. However, participants judged any...

This pre-registered study examined the impact of different retention intervals on remembering each instance an emotionally stressful, repeated event. Eighty-nine adult female participants imagined being a victim four similar domestic violence instances over four-week period. Participants then completed recall and recognition memory questions about either immediately, one-week, or three-weeks after final instance. Overall, findings showed that performance was often most accurate for first...

In two experiments we investigated the effect of a 'remember best' prompt on recall one instance repeated event. Adult female participants (N = 98 Experiment 1; N 100 2) engaged in imagined experiences abusive relationship encounters either occasion (single group) or four occasions (repeat-last and repeat-best groups). Participants then completed memory assessment for target instance. single repeat-last groups, recalled pre-determined (i.e. last group), while group self-selected which to...

Repeated offences, such as domestic violence, are often distressing for victims. When victims of offences make an allegation abuse, they usually required to report details about specific incidents. Therefore, this pre-registered study examined whether memory emotionally stressful versus non-stressful repeated event would differ depending on the instance being recalled. Eighty female participants (Mage = 22.3, SD 7.4) imagined involved in four abusive (emotionally event) or non-abusive...

When deliberating, jurors may introduce misinformation that influence other jurors’ memory and decision-making. In two studies, we explored the impact of exposure during jury deliberation. Participants in both studies read a transcript an alleged sexual assault. Study 1 ( N = 275), participants encountered either consistent pro-prosecution misinformation, pro-defense or contradictory (pro-prosecution pro-defense). 2 339), prior to encountering while reading deliberation transcript, received...

Ground rules establish the conversational expectations during an interview and are intended to reduce interviewee discomfort increase response accuracy towards problematic questions. This study explored perceptions of ground rule instructions in adult interviews. Younger (18–40 years) older (60+ adults (N = 168) were interviewed about a film depicting implied sexual assault or personal event. Participants received either three as statements ('Don't Know', 'Don't Understand' 'Correct Me')...

To reduce the memory decay associated with delayed reporting, witnesses are often encouraged to note down their recall immediately after event. However, research has only investigated benefits of immediate for single events; no explored whether can improve repeated events. Therefore, this examined effect on adult a In Experiment 1 (N = 42), participants watched four workplace bullying videos. After each video, experimental group recalled what occurred during instance, while control did not....

Abstract Background The possibility of residual impairment cognitive performance after multiday drinking sessions is particularly important given the potential for deleterious effects fatigue and hangover. This pilot study aimed to devise a methodology compare sober on driving‐relevant attentional tasks at end 4‐day music festival with varying levels breath–alcohol curve. Methods Fifty‐two participants completed selective sustained attention breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) 0.00%, 0.05%,...
