Question
When presented with a lineup, Alexis was able to identify the perpetrator of a robbery she had witnessed. She was not sure of her identification at first, but when the investigator mentioned that another witness had also chosen the same suspect, her confidence that she remembered the perpetrator well grew close to 100%. This is an illustration of: A. scripts. B. post-identification feedback effect. C. unconscious transference. D. bias-reducing instructions.
Because BWS and RTS are often difficult for the prosecution to integrate into a trial, many have advocated for testimony about posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) instead. One reason why the use of this diagnosis proves to be more helpful in cases in which the victim kills the batterer is that:
no one understands BWS.
PTSD is better established as a mental disorder.
RTS has not been documented.
victims of PTSD have public support.
A.no one understands BWS.
B.PTSD is better established as a mental disorder.
C.RTS has not been documented.
D.victims of PTSD have public support.
Explanation / Answer
Ans. 1 Option B
The illustration is an example of post identification feedback effect. In the illustration, Alexis was able to identify the perpetrator but she was confused and facing lack of confidence to identify right person. The post-identification feedback effect occur because there is no accessible memory trace formed about retrospective judgements, thereby making witness rely on an inference process that respond to the feedback.
Ans. 2 Option B
The PTSD is a better establishment as mental disorder so that we have many tests and interview for assessing PTSD while RTS and BWS have less reliability and validity.
