Memory- factors affecting eyewitness testimony: anxiety

Mind Map 8- this mind map includes information on how anxiety affects eyewitness testimony. If a question asks you about how anxiety affects EWTs, I would recommend mentioning both negative and positive effects, and then the explanation of the contradictory evidence. This explanation can be written in a single sentence, but is a helpful discussion point and can be further evaluated e.g. too simplistic. This is one of the topics where I'd really suggest learning the specifics of the 2 main studies: both have a lot going on, but it is all very important information to remember when you get into the exam. Familiarise yourself, with which study supports what, the method of the study, and the findings.
