  • 摘要:

    It has been repeatedly demonstrated in legal psychology writings that mistakes related to eyewitness testimony are one of the factors in many court errors. *2 The area of eyewitness testimony in legal psychology focuses mainly on problems related to identification and knowledge of the functioning of the witness’s memory as well as the influences of a co-witness (e.g., how people remember certain events and what influences the accuracy of testimony). The errors in eyewitness testimony are considered to be misidentification (e.g,. identification of an innocent individual instead of the suspect), misconceptions about the functioning of the witness’s memory, reservations about the accuracy of testimony given by child witnesses and the elderly.
