Researchers develop tool that may help in understanding inaccuracy in eyewitness testimony

(University of Toronto) Researchers at the University of Toronto have developed an innovative tool to aid in the investigation of how we perceive and remember visual experiences. The new tool, referred to as a " scene wheel, " will help researchers study how accurately we construct mental representations of visual experiences for later retrieval -- for example, how well an eyewitness recalls details of a crime or an accident.
