Loftus et al. (1978) had student eyewitnesses view slides of an auto accident. One slide depicted a car stopped at a stop or a yield sign. In a series of questions about the accident, the critical question was “Did another car pass the red car while it was stopped at the sign?” Aronson et al. classified this example, one that involved misleading information for some Pp, as illustrative of a problem with the ____ stage of memory.
