Parker and Carranza showed primary school children and college student a slide of a real crime
Parker and Carranza's study showed that age does affect the accuracy of eyewitness testimony
Parker and Carranza's study showed that children were more accurate than adults
Can the Parker and Carranza study be easily replicated? True for Yes, False for No
Are they any ethical concerns with Parker and Carranza's study?
The Parker and Carranza study was high in generalisability
The Parker and Carranza study was not ecologically valid because it was a naturalistic experiment
Yarmey's experiment was a lab experiment
Yarmey's study involved people being asked to recall the physical characteristics of a women they just spoke to 2 minutes ago for 15 seconds.
Yarmey's study showed that they were no difference in the accuracy of recall between ages
Yarmey's study is not generalisable and representative of all age groups
Yarmey's study is ecologically valid
Memon et al's study is the most recent study
Memon et al found no difference in the accuracy of recall when there was no delay between incident and recall
When a delay was given, Memon found that younger people were less accurate
Memon's study is not generalisable because it did not use age groups that are representative of the population
An advantage of Memon's study is that it could be replicated so results can be checked for reliability
Memon's study is not ecologically valid
