Question

(Lecture, Chapter 7) Sara was standing on a street corner waiting for a bus when she witnessed a man steal a woman's purse across the street. She was interviewed by two detectives. The first detective said "tell me everything you saw." He then asked her to imagine that she was standing on the opposite corner of the street and report everything she remembered. Later, they called Sara to the police station and gave her a lineup. The detective who arrested the suspect presented all of the lineup pictures together. He then asked her if she recognized the thief in the lineup, but cautioned that the thief may or may not be present in the lineup. She identified photo number three. The detective said "good, you identified the suspect" and then recorded her confidence. What potential effect could the detective saying "good, you identified the suspect" have according to lecture? Artificially inflate her confidence in the ID It could be used to postdict the accuracy of her identification in court It could lead other witnesses to come forward and ID the same suspect It could be used against the detective in court as an example of bias and suggestion Question 12 2 pts (Lecture, Chapter 7) In a study by Loftus, participants watched a movie of a car accident. She asked one group of people to estimate how fast the cars were going when they "smashed" into each other, and she asked another group to estimate how fast they were going when they "hit" each other. What was the outcome of this study? people in the "smashed" condition were more likely to think that the driver was a woman people in the "smashed" condition estimated higher speeds than the "hit" condition people in the "hit" condition estimated higher speeds than the "smashed" condition people in the "hit" condition were more likely to think that the driver was a woman
