Abstract
Previous study showed that there are three possibilities as deception of eye-witnessed event distort memory. These are interference of memory rehearsal, retrieval induced forgetting, and source monitoring error (Christianson & Bylin, 1999). This study investigated whether deception interfere with original memory rehearsal. Participants were showed video clip and assigned one of three conditions; Deception condition, Genuine condition, and No-Rehearsal condition. We compared memory performance of these three conditions after deception or recalling video clip. Results showed that participant in Deception condition and No-Rehearsal condition has poorer memory performance than that of Genuine condition. So this result suggests that deception of eye-witnessed event might interfere with original memory rehearsal.
