The majority of research on eyewitness memory has traditionally
studied children and young adults. By contrast, this volume is
designed to provide an overview of empirical research on the
cognitive, social, and health related factors that impact the
accuracy of eyewitness testimony given by the elderly. The book
takes a lifespan developmental perspective that incorporates
research on witnesses of all ages, but uses the findings to focus
on issues unique to the elderly. This includes research on
recognition memory with lineup identifications and recall memory
that occurs when an elderly witness is asked to describe an event
in court. The Elderly Eyewitness also examines jurors' reactions to
the testimony of an elderly witness, and the legal and social
policy issues that emerge when the elderly witness participate in
legal proceedings. While reviewing what is known about the elderly
witness, the book also provides a direction for future research
into this new frontier of scientific inquiry. Its audience spans
researchers in cognitive and developmental psychology, and
professionals working in the growing area of psychology and law.
