Which of the following is not an error in eye witness testimony ?

  • A.Suggestibility
  • B.Illusion of outgoing homogeneity
  • C.Source monitoring
  • D.Forgetting

Answer: D

Forgetting is not counted as an error in eyewitness testimony in this question. The errors listed in the other options are named distortions of eyewitness memory: suggestibility (misleading questions), the illusion of out-group homogeneity (the printed 'outgoing' is a misprint for out-group), and source monitoring errors.

Forgetting is the loss of information and is the ordinary memory failure, so the key treats it as the one that is not one of these particular errors.
