Understanding evidence is critical in a court of law - and it is
just as important for critical thinking. Elizabeth Loftus, a
pioneering psychologist, made a landmark contribution to both these
areas in Eyewitness Testimony, a trail-blazing work that undermines
much of the decision-making made by judges and juries by pointing
out how flawed eyewitness testimony actually is. Reporting the
results of an eye-opening series of experiments and trials, Loftus
explores the ways in which - unbeknownst to the witnesses
themselves - memory can be distorted and become highly unreliable.
Much of Loftus's work is based on expert use of the critical
thinking skill of interpretation. Her work not only highlights
multiple problems of definition with regard to courtroom testimony,
but also focuses throughout on how best we can understand the
meaning of the available evidence. Eyewitness Testimony is arguably
the best place in the Macat library to begin any investigation of
how to use and understand interpretation.
