How does positive feedback affect the way participants remember the crime video? O Feedback causes participants to remember the video with greater confidence. O Feedback causes participants to remember the man's face more accurately O Feedback makes participants less willing to testify about what they saw in the video. O Feedback causes all participants to be absolutely certain that they identified the correct man in the video. In 1984, an intruder broke into the home of Jennifer Thompson, a 22-year-old student, and sexually assaulted her. In the initial stages of the subsequent investigation, the police showed Jennifer a photo array of men matching the description she gave of the intruder. She chose a photo of Ronald Cotton and identified him as the assailant. At a later point in the investigation, Jennifer identified Ronald Cotton as her attacker a second time by choosing him from a lineup. Mr. Cotton spent 11 years in prison before DNA testing proved that someone else, a man named Bobby Poole, had actually attacked Jennifer. Although correct procedures were followed in the investigation, a combination of several factors led to Jennifer's confident and persuasive testimony during Ronald Cotton's trial. Which of the following presents a scenario where positive feedback could have impacted Jennifer's identification of her assailant? O Jennifer was not informed that her attacker might not be in the lineup. O Jennifer was given only ten minutes to identify her attacker from the lineup. O Jennifer was shown several photos simultaneously rather than a sequence of photos O Officers told Jennifer that the man she identified in the photo array had been involved in other breaking-and-entering crimes Apla ll rights reserved ming expipt as
