124 college students were first shown a series of slides depicting an accident. They were then given either inconsistent or consistent postevent information in a written questionnaire. The order of questionnaire items was either sequential or random. Finally, a recognition test for slides was administered, with the test items either in a sequential or random order, Original memory was biased by postevent information except under a random-questionnaire, sequential-test condition. Results are compatible with a retrieval-based explanation of forgetting. Implications for interrogation procedures used in legal settings are considered.(13 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
