Investigated various aspects of eyewitness testimony in a simulated courtroom setting. 80 undergraduates were shown a filmed murder and then testified about their observations in one of several experimental conditions. Testimony was rated for accuracy and quantity. Significant main effects were found for sex of witness, immediacy of testimony (immediately or after a 1-wk delay), testimony structure (unstructured free recall or response to questions), question type (open-ended, leading, and multiple choice), and question bias (positive, negative, and neutral). Results also support a predicted cognitive-set hypothesis, relating accuracy and quantity of testimony to the specificity of the questioning situation. The strong findings attest to the efficacy of empirically investigating aspects of courtroom procedures as a viable research paradigm.(27 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
