Questions: According to research by Elizabeth Loftus, eyewitness memory is A. always inaccurate B. prone to inaccuracies when questions following the event add inaccurate information (e.g., how fast was the car going when it passed the stop sign, even though no stop sign is present). C. always accurate in adults but not children. D. always accurate in both adults and children

The answer is B. prone to inaccuracies when questions following the event add inaccurate information (e.g., how fast was the car going when it passed the stop sign, even though no stop sign is present).

This option is incorrect because eyewitness memory is not always inaccurate. While it can be unreliable, it is not universally inaccurate in all cases.

This option is correct. Elizabeth Loftus's research has shown that eyewitness memory can be influenced by misleading information presented after the event. This is known as the misinformation effect, where the memory of an event can be altered by incorrect information introduced during questioning.

This option is incorrect because eyewitness memory is not always accurate in adults. Both adults and children can have inaccuracies in their memories, especially when exposed to misleading information.

This option is incorrect because eyewitness memory is not always accurate in both adults and children. Both groups can be susceptible to memory distortions, particularly when influenced by external factors such as suggestive questioning.
