Order Description
Cognitive Psychology

Human memory is fallible. Rather than being like a recording of events experienced, our memories are vulnerable to errors and misinformation. Though highly arousing events have been thought to be particularly accurate, this idea has been challenged. Events that are highly stressful may be particularly prone to error.
Design a study to test the idea that stress level impacts the accuracy of human memory. Be sure to develop a study that is ethically feasible.
