For crimes such as child abuse and family violence, jurors’ assessments of memory reports from key witnesses are vital to case outcomes in court. Since jurors are not experts on memory, the present research measured laypeople’s (i.e., non-experts’) beliefs about how three key factors affect witnesses’ memory reports for an experienced event: how frequently an event was experienced (repeated, single), the delay between experiencing and reporting the event, and the emotional valence of the event. Across two studies, lay participants completed an online survey that measured their beliefs about each factor. In Study 1, 51 participants completed a survey about how the three factors affect children’s memory. In Study 2, another 51 participants completed a survey about how the three factors affect adult’s memory. Across both studies, delays were believed to worsen memory, and emotion was believed to improve memory. Beliefs about single and repeated events showed different patterns across the studies. In Study 1, participants’ beliefs about children’s memory for repeated experience were variable. In Study 2, participants believed that adults’ memory was worse for repeated events than single events. Overall, laypeople demonstrated many accurate beliefs about memory, but showed some confusion about children’s memory for repeated events.

Laypeople’s perceptions of the effects of event repetition, reporting delay, and emotion on children’s and adults’ memory
