Two video projectors with polarizing filters diagonal to each other projected different moving pictures on the same screen. These were observed by a pair of subjects wearing polarizing sunglasses suitable for one or the other video projector. Using this experimental technique, thirty pairs of undergraduates observed basically the same event, but three nonconforming points were included. Each pair of subjects was asked to report individually on what they had seen-Pre-discussion Report. Then they were allowed to discuss the event they had just observed, and were asked to report again-Post-discussion Report. Subjects were invited to come to the laboratory a week later to report what they had seen the week before-Week-later Report. Fifteen pairs of the subjects were instructed to come to agreement during the discussion whereas the other fifteen pairs were simply instructed to discuss what they had seen. In the Week-later Report, subjects in the former group tended to change their memory of the event, either consciously or subconsciously, whereas this tendency was much less in the latter group. In general, the Post-discussion Reports were more complete than the Pre-discussion Reports, that is, the discussion improved the subjects' memory of the events., Article, 信州大学教育学部紀要. 109: 75-84 (2003)}, pages = {75--84}, title = {Memory Distortion in Eyewitness Pairs Who Observed Nonconforming Events and Discussed Them}, volume = {109}, year = {2003} }
