Abstract

Co-witnesses can influence each others’ memory reports (memory conformity). In the MORI paradigm, in-person pairs are led to believe that they witness the same event but actually witness different versions, discuss the event, then take individual memory tests. We piloted a novel remote/online version and found memory conformity effects.
