False memory acceptance was investigated through comparison of visual and nonverbal auditory misinformation during witness interviews to investigate the verbatim memory aspect of fuzzy trace theory. The researcher used a 2 x 2 between-subjects design [sensory modality (visual versus nonverbal auditory) x definiteness of articles (definite, the, versus indefinite, a/an)] in which 128 participants viewed four film clips, which were each followed by 19 forced-choice recognition questions about the content (15 were consistent across participants, while 4 varied by condition) and associated confidence level items. The results of the various descriptive and inferential exploratory analyses revealed the accuracy of memory for an event for nonverbal auditory features was significantly lower than visual features, despite exceptionally high overall accuracy for conditions and items. There was no effect of definiteness of the article on accuracy and no interaction between sensory modality and definiteness of the article (contrary to prediction). The average confidence for false positives was relatively high across visual and nonverbal auditory sensory modalities; however, there was no statistically significant difference between them. There were no statistically significant simple main effects of response type for either the visual or the nonverbal auditory conditions, so that average witness confidence was similar for accurate and erroneous memories of misinformed visual and nonverbal auditory features, respectively. There was no statistically significant interaction between sensory modality and response type, so that average witness confidence was similar across all conditions. Conclusions from these results have implications for criminal-justice professionals, including the need to gather information from witnesses as quickly as possible, rely more heavily on visual details than nonverbal auditory details, not allow confidence judgments of witnesses to affect their own evaluations of the quality of the information provided, and entertain the possibility of errors in witness recollections.
