Ten Things the Law and Others Should Know about Human Memory
This chapter describes my experiences a memory expert witness and how these led to a major report by the British Psychological Society on memory and the law. The aim of this report was to provide a set of guidelines about human memory that were agreed by a broad range of memory researchers and supported by scientific findings. The intention was to provide an authoritative source that could be used by non-experts and which would also stop the selective use of findings that so undermines expert testimony.
