26、passage is adapted from“MemoryonTrial.Copyright 2008by the National Science Foundation.The U.S.legal system has long assumed that alltestimony is not equally credible,that some witnessesare more reliable than others.In tough cases withU ne child witnesses,it assumes adult witnesses to be more5 relia

27、ble.But what if the legal system had it wrong?Researchers Valerie Reyna and Chuck Brainerd arguethat like the two-headed Roman god Janus,memoryis of two minds that is,memories are captured andrecorded separately and differently in two distinct parts10 of the mind.They say children depend more heavil

29、meaning-based memories arelargely responsible for false memories,especially inadult witnesses.Because the ability to extract meaning20 from experience develops slowly,children are less likelyto produce these false memories than adults,and aremore likely to give accurate testimony when properlyquesti

30、oned.The finding is counterintuitive;it doesnt square25 with current legal tenets,and may have importantimplications for legal proceedings.zzBecause childrenhave fewer meaning-based experience records,they areless likely to form false memories,“says Reyna.Z/Butthe law assumes children are more susce

32、mories are based on event reconstruction,especiallyafter delays of a few days,weeks,or months.However,Reyna and Brainerds Fuzzy Trace Theory hypothesizes40 that people store two types of experience records ormemories:verbatim traces and gist traces.Verbatimtraces are memories ofwhat actually happene

33、d.Gisttraces are based on a persons understanding of whathappened,or what the event meant to him or her.Gist45 traces stimulate false memories because they storeimpressions of what an event meant,which can beinconsistent with what actually happened.False memories can be identified when witnessesaccu

35、 and made threatening statements/says Reyna.Brainerd argues that because witness testimony isthe primary evidence in criminal prosecutions,falsememories are a dominant reason for convictions ofinnocent people.Recently,in Cook County,Illinois,6。more than 200 murder confessions were identified asbeing

36、 based on adult7s false memory reports becausethey conflicted with unimpeachable facts.For example,a person may have falsely remembered being in onelocation,but a sales receipt showed thathe was in another65 location at the same time a crime was committed.“Failure to recognize differences in how adu

37、ltsand children produce memory unfairly tilts the U.S.legal system against child witnesses/says Reyna.Children do not have the same fullness of emotional7。and intellectual experience asdo adults when it comesto deriving meaning from situations,so meaning-basedmemory is less likely to influence a chi

38、lds testimony.”The researchers say their transformative two-mindmemory approach can reduce the number of false75 memories in court cases and give more validity tochildrens testimony.Reyna and Brainerd developed severalmathematical models associated with Fuzzy TraceTheory that can be used to predict

39、memory outcomes80 in both adultsand children.The models,which testmemory,have been used to determine ways in whichattorneys,investigators,law enforcement officials andothers can ask questions to help people access verbatimmemories while suppressing false memories.The85 researchers say using neutral

40、prompts to cue witnessescan help them remember what actually happened.Reyna and Brainerd also say returning a witnessto the scene of an event in a highly neutral way cancue verbatim memories and help the legal process.90 The models provide the most accurate informationto date on the causes of false
