Studies show witnesses frequently misidentify innocent bystanders as perpetrators. #Kavanaugh accusation THREAD.
In study discussed in this paper, subjects watched a video wherein crime occurs in a liquor store. Afterward, 79.3% of the study’s participants misidentified an INNOCENT BYSTANDER as the perpetrator in a 5-option perpetrator-free lineup.
“Unconscious transference refers to the misidentification of an innocent person who is familiar from a different context.”
Maybe both Brett Kavanaugh & Christine Blasey Ford are telling the truth about what they recall. But maybe her recollection about that night in 1980s is tainted & inaccurate due to unconscious transference.
She wasn’t shown a lineup right after, but her memory could’ve been tainted by seeing a photo of him later. She could truly believe what she remembers is true & he could truly be innocent. #Kavanagh
I’ll be discussing the possibility that unconscious transference caused what Ford recalls about Kavanaugh to be wrong on @radionolan tomorrow. Listen at 10:07am CT on on @939TheEagle, @KWOSNewsRadio, or online at 939theeagle.com
