How Observant Are You?
This activity demonstrates our ability to remember details accurately. Testimony about personal experiences is frequently used during an investigation, and can even make or break a case. How accurately do people remember what they have seen? What factors may play a role in what we can remember and describe about something we have witnessed? Consider these questions as you do the following activity.
Directions:
- Observe the picture for exactly 30 seconds. Look at everything you think might be important.
- After 30 seconds, answer the questions on the next page on a sheet of paper. (Do not read the questions before you look at the picture!)
- How observant were you? Compare your answers to the picture.
