hypnosis and eyewitness memory  

Definición

  • The use of hypnosis to enhance the memory of a witness to a crime often results not only in some additional accurate recall of information about the event but also in the incorporation of additional misinformation into the witness's memory of the event and a general increase in his or her confidence in the veracity of recall. Research has shown that hypnosis increases the amount of information that is recalled about an event. [Source: Encyclopedia of Psychology and Law; Hypnosis and Eyewitness Memory]
