Seeing, Believing, and Misunderstanding: The Negative Impact of Neuroimages on Perceptions of Expert Psychological Testimony.

Poster Session IV

Keyword: Criminal Justice

Abstract: Participants witnessed expert psychological testimony that varied by strength and presence of brain imagery in a capital trial. These factors interacted on both ratings of defendant impairment and expert quality such that differences were smallest when neuroimages were present, suggesting that neuroimaging may interfere with judgments of unreliable testimony.
