- This study investigated memory conformity effect among police trainees who first witnessed, and the discussed, a criminal event. Each member of a pair watched a different video of the same criminal event. The pairs discussed the event, and then each witness performed an individual recall test. A high proportion (67%) of the witnesses who had discussed the event mistakenly recalled items acquired during the discussion. Furthermore, a subsequent source monitoring test revealed that a majority of these witnesses (75%) were aware of the fact that they had acquired the mistakenly recalled items from their co-witnesses. These findings are discussed both from a theoretical and practical perspective
