| Abstract: | The following paper explores the misinformation effect and its consequences for eyewitness testimonies. It examines various studies that have been done that demonstrate what happens when individuals are supplied with supplemental information following an event they witnessed. Additionally, studies that address ways to limit the misinformation effect are discussed and future research is proposed to help foster more accurate eyewitness testimony. |
