2) Storage: Impact of time Loaded questions & the misinformation effect: Loftus’ research: What is the misinformation effect? What is ‘source monitoring error’?

3) Retrieval – Lineup format: Gary Wells’ research on lineups: How to best construct lineups? Similarity of lineup to witness description – Sequential or simultaneous lineups? Instructions to eyewitnesses?
