Professor: A common misconception is that memory works like a video recording. In reality, remembering is reconstructive. When people recall an event, they combine stored details with expectations and later information. This helps explain why two witnesses can remember the same event differently. Researchers have shown that even the wording of a question can influence later recall. That does not mean memory is useless; it means memory is an active process rather than a perfect copy. For researchers and courts, the practical lesson is to collect accounts carefully and avoid unnecessarily leading questions.
Question: What practical recommendation does the professor make?
