In an overview of the effect of leading questions on eyewitness testimonies, Elizabeth Loftus and John Palmer (1974), found that by using leading questions eyewitnesses were more likely to mentally alter what they had witnessed to fit better with the question. There is plenty research looking into and developing ideas of the impact of using leading questions and the main and most well-known of them all is the research of Elizabeth Loftus and John Palmer. In 1974 Loftus and Palmer took a group of
Even the judges think that questions effecting the reliability of a child’s testimony are mostly “developmentally inappropriate questions” (Bala and Ramakrishnan et al., 2004, p. 995). This means that when questions are asked in a language standard that is below the reasonable level of understanding, they will not be able to answer as well as they should and can. Quoting Warner (2008), “Children, even very young ones, can give reliable evidence if questions are tailored to their cognitive
journal article, “Leading Questions and the Eyewitness Report”, was on the influence of leading/misleading information in terms of both visual imagery and wording of questions in relation to eyewitness testimony. The problem that she investigated was that the questions asked about an event shortly after it occurs may distort the witness’ memory for that event. The research hypothesis was that the wording of questions asked immediately after an event may influence responses to questions asked considerably
its accuracy into question? A lie detector is an electronic device that records an individual’s physiological arousal when asked yes or no questions. There are two types of questions that the examiner will ask the individual in order to measure the individual’s arousal. The first types of questions are questions relevant to the crime being investigated. The second types of questions are called control questions. These questions are unrelated to the crime. Asking these questions allows the examiner
probing to gain insight about client. Various types of questions were also used including, open-ended questions, close-ended questions and coping questions. I also used the technique of empowering the client to make a change. I accomplished this by highlighting the client’s resources she already obtains.

Open ended questions are good at establishing rapport and give the subject a chance to explain things in general. Closed ended questions are great at getting specific answers and details.

From the works of Plato to the views of Socrates, the definition of justice has been argued and disputed by the wisest. Socrates believed that justice was good and discovered a universal good; therefore every man is capable of finding good. Good exists as happiness, determined by what we value most. What lies in the midst of our thoughts, that an “unexamined life” is acceptable? Through the use of questioning we begin to break down the walls of ignorance and live a life that is worth living. In

TS Elliot is very methodical about the craft and meaning of his poem: “The Lovesong of J Alfred Prufrock.” Through a plethora of literary devices, TS Elliot portrays a question that J. Alfred Prufrock never asked, through this unasked Question Elliot portrayed Prufrock as desperate to find a female partner to have a relationship with. Elliot starts The Poem out by making an invitation saying “Let us go then, you and I” - to whom?: it remains unclear. The first Stanza goes like this: Let us go
I picked Peggy Ralphson as my leader because she has been a mother, an owner, a wife, and a volunteer. In this interview. I asked her questions pertaining to her personal leader philosophy and being a servant-leader. Her answers were straightforward and to the point. My first question was “How has being either an introvert or extrovert shaped the way that you lead?”. Her answer was that she considers herself to be in the middle of the two as her main goal is to remain consistent by finding balance
witnesses are primed with leading questions, the suggestibility of even one word can cause that information to be integrated into a person’s memory then combined with other information to create a composite memory of what they believe is an authentic occurrence, but in reality, it is misinformation acceptance. Here some examples that Dr. Loftus has used in her
One leading researcher on Eyewitness testimony is Elizabeth Loftus and her colleagues, in 1975, participants were shown an event by film of a car crash, the participants were split into 2 groups and ask questions on what they had just seen, Group 1 were asked questions that were consistent with the incident, while Group 2, were given same question except one, which was misleading (involving a barn). A week later participants were ask another ten questions, and the last question ask did
the Almighty. Whenever Jesus is questioned the people who do so are inevitably wrong, there points being made to look stupid as Jesus transcends the question with a new concept. For example, in Luke 20:34-40 Jesus is asked about a wife who has been widowed and remarried several times and to who she should be married in heaven. This is a difficult question in Jewish tradition where the concept of the resurrection is that of a physical rebirth and the continuation of life on earth. However, Jesus comes
communication skills in order to connect with clients. There are six basic and four advanced skills that are used in direct practice to make communication more effective. The basic skills include reflection of feelings, paraphrasing, open ended questions, closed ended questions, clarification and attending behaviors. Advanced skills consist of summarization, information giving, interpretation and confrontation. Not only is it important to know what these skills are, it is also important to know what the appropriate
suggestive questions, stereotyping and repetition. There have been a number of studies on all three of these factors, proving that they can negatively affect a child’s ability to recall information. One must remember, however, that studies are done in a lab-type environment and therefore lack ecological validity. One factor that can affect children’s eyewitness accounts is the use of suggestive or leading questions. A study by Krackow & Lynn investigated the influence of suggestive questions on children

There, guided by the lost, provided the path to where the girl deemed she need to be. The girl entered the door, into a world once was promised for her to visit. Though, the girl was not happy, since she was all by herself; even less now that the time she will spend there remains in uncertainty.
the memories of young children, specifically between the ages of five and ten, can be accurate and in return trusted. So, can children’s memory and testimony be accurate? Prolific amounts of research have been conducted in an attempt to answer this question. Most of the research suggests that unfortunately we can not rely on their accurate recall in testimony. I would have to say I agree with the findings. The current anxiety about the validity of children’s testimony in court stems mostly from heavily

notice of the fact that they can be misconstrued since memories are fallible and can be easily influenced. Eyewitness testimonies can be affected by many psychological factors, these include anxiety/stress, reconstructive memory, weapon focus and leading questions. Anxiety or stress is almost always associated with real life crimes. Deffenbacher (1983) reviewed 21 studies and found that the stress-performance relationship followed an inverted-U function proposed by the Yerkes Dodson Curve (1908). This
