In a recent article (McCloskey & Zaragoza, 1985) we presented arguments and evidence in support of the contention that misleading postevent information does not impair memory for the original event. In their comment on our article, Loftus, Schooler, & Wagenaar (1985) raise several objections to our conclusions. In this reply we consider these objections, suggesting that they present no serious challenges to our position. We also consider the implications of our arguments for forensic applications of postevent information research. In a recent article (McCloskey & Zaragoza, 1985) we made the following points in support of the contention that misleading postevent information has no effect on memory for the original event: 1. The procedures used in previous studies are inappropriate for assessing effects of misleading postevent information on memory for an event. Hence, the available data fail to demonstrate that misleading postevent information in any way impairs memory for the original event. 2. In six experiments using an appropriate procedure we found no effect of misleading postevent information on subjects' ability to remember the original event. In their commentary on our article, Loftus, Schooler, and Wagenaar (1985) take issue with both of these points. In this reply we consider their objections, arguing that they present no serious challenges to our conclusion.
