Can Leading Questions Result in Reconstructions of Memory?

Anushka Gupta

Abstract: This research paper examines reconstructive memory, and its susceptibility to leading questions. An experiment was conducted where half of the participants were asked a neutral question, and the other half were asked a leading question in response to watching the same clip. The findings provided evidence for the latter question resulting in reconstructions of memory.
