目前的研究调查的记忆一致性的影响，个人谁见证，然后讨论一个犯罪事件，采用一种新的程序，即每一个成员的二分体观看不同的视频相同的事件。每个录像都包含独特的物品，因此只有一名证人看到。在一个条件下的二人组被鼓励讨论的事件之前，每个证人（单独）进行了回忆测试，而在控制条件下的二人组不允许讨论的事件之前，回忆。一个显着的比例（71%）的证人谁讨论了事件继续错误地回忆在讨论中获得的物品。与老年人（60-80岁）相比，年轻人（18-30岁）对这些记忆一致性效应的易感性没有年龄相关差异。可能的社会和认知机制的扭曲的记忆，由于一致性进行了讨论。版权所有（C）2003约翰威利父子有限公司。
The current study investigated memory conformity effects between individuals who witness and then discuss a criminal event, employing a novel procedure whereby each member of a dyad watches a different video of the same event. Each video contained unique items that were thus seen only by one witness. Dyads in one condition were encouraged to discuss the event before each witness (individually) performed a recall test, while in a control condition dyads were not allowed to discuss the event prior to recall. A significant proportion (71%) of witnesses who had discussed the event went on to mistakenly recall items acquired during the discussion. There were no age-related differences in susceptibility to these memory conformity effects in younger (18-30 years) as compared to older (60-80 years) participants. Possible social and cognitive mechanisms underlying the distortions of memory due to conformity are discussed. Copyright (C) 2003 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.
