The new science of eyewitness memory | John Wixted

from TED Talks Daily

We've built a legal system that distrusts eyewitness memory — backed by cautionary science and high-profile exonerations. John Wixted, a leading psychology researcher, challenges this conventional wisdom with a counterintuitive finding: the problem might not be memory itself but how (and when) courts test it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
