Loftus was concerned with how subsequent information could affect an eyewitness testimony (EWT) which is a legal term, referring to the use of eyewitness to give evidence in court. EWT can be influenced by misleading information in terms of both visual imagery and wording of questions. This could lead to faulty or incorrect convictions. If someone is imposed to new info during the interval between witnessing the event and recalling it, this info may have marked effects on what they recall. Original memory can be modified.…
The Loftus and Palmer study is a laboratory experiment. This means that the study is artificial. The artificiality of the setting can intimidate participants or make them more obedient. This in turn can produce unnatural behavior and results that do not generalize to real life. This can be seen in experiment 2 when 12% of the control group reported seeing broken glass even though they were unaffected by the verb. This could be attributed to the leading question or to demand characteristics when participants look for cues as to what the research is about and behave accordingly, perhaps to please the researcher, especially as the participants in this case are students that may even be familiar with the researcher as they are from the same environment. In a nutshell, due to the nature of the experiment, it lacks ecological validity. In a real life situation there would be an element of surprise and an increase in emotion. Basically the eye-witness would be in some way involved, which is not the case while watching the video the eye-witness is not part of the event. Furthermore, an eye-witness in a real life situation may discuss the event with other people which may alter their memory of the event. Lastly, an eye-witness may think more carefully about giving an answer when in a real life situation when they realize that their answer could judge how innocent or guilty a person is, they may hesitate and realize the importance, although when taking part in a study they may just give an answer without as much thought.…

That’s more than 20 times the cumulative 32 percent raise for college professors . For top basketball coaches , annual contracts now exceed 4 million , augmented by assorted bonuses , endorsements , country club memberships , the occasional private plane, and in some cases a negotiated percentage of ticket receipts . Growth of televised games spurred the bonanza. In 1984, a landmark U.S supreme court ruling let top football universities pursue TV contracts on their own, so the NCAA was left mostly with march madness basketball…

The Great Depression was an awful point in history. It was a worldwide economic slump of the 1930’s. Banks, factories, and shops all closed. Millions of people were left jobless. Many people had to depend on the government or charity to provide them with their everyday needs. Rising unemployment, declining production, and falling prices spread rapidly to the rest of the world in the early 1930's. The Depression caused world trade to slow down a lot, as countries tried to help their own industries by increasing restrictions on imports.…
No one has named a Yale building after David Swensen -- not yet, anyway -- and it's a safe bet that most students and alumni do not know who he is. Yet Swensen, an unassuming 51-year-old Midwesterner who did his undergraduate work at the University of Wisconsin in River Falls, has arguably made as much of a contribution to Yale as anyone in recent times. That $7.8 billion figure is the difference between the value of Yale's endowment today, after 20 years of Swensen's portfolio management, and what its value would be had the money grown at an average rate of return for all college and university endowments. When Yale is measured against its peers, a group of universities with multibillion-dollar endowments that includes Harvard, Princeton, Stanford,…
