- I n the last several decades, eyewitness testimony has come under greater scrutiny. Since 1989, some 329 people have been exonerated based on DNA tests, according to the Innocence Project, a nonprofit legal organization. Each of the wrongfully convicted spent an average of 16 years in prison, and 75% of them were put away largely on the basis of eyewitness testimony.

I only got 5, but didn't write down sleep. Does that make me a good witness or just poor memorizer?
i got 10 out of the 15 and didn’t write sleep. i actually used narrative chaining to help me remember
sleep is the third word that came to mind!! i was so sure about it too haha
Gerome Fournier Mind blown!
Gerome Fournier if a DNA test could prove you're innocent then you can't be convicted legally. Guilt must be irrefutable to be convicted.
Which means no new evidence would make a difference
I instantly knew "sleep" wasn't one of the words.
Yeah, we all knew.
Hmm interesting. I wrote 10, but I didn't write sleep. But when you said there was sleep, I had second thoughts.. then I believed there was sleep and just forgot to write it. But actually there wasn't and my memory still tells me that there was sleep.
I feel the same way
I write down :
Bed , Awake, Blanket ,Doze,Yawn,Tired,Snore
When he said there was sleep,I also had second thoughts .
I tend to remember that I was going to write sleep after Bed but I didn't,and I don't know why.
I watched this while in bed getting ready to doze, slumber, dream, snooze, nap in my bed because I am drowsy.. Off to sleep now.
I was so sure about sleep, I put it twice lol
DO NOT READ COMMENTS UNTIL AFTER TEST!
I got 11 and added the word in the middle of the list, so I failed. Imagine being a teen, fatigued after 12 hours of hostile questioning in an interrogation room!
I write down :
Bed , Awake, Blanket ,Doze,Yawn,Tired,Snore
When he said there was sleep,I also had second thoughts .
I tend to remember that I was going to write sleep after Bed but I didn't,and I don't know why.
Daaang, I sucked at this! I got 5. 5! I also added "sleep" and "lay", and I thought he said "rest" twice, but he actually said "awake" and "wake", and I got everything confused. What a mindfuck lmao
It was so easy to deduce what the catcher would be based on the title.
lol my default mode is to not use association if I can't recall, and was able to recall only 5 words
This is not the same, this is just memory recall, most of us don't go past 9 words or numbers.
I wrote asleep with a question mark next to it because I wasn't sure if you said it or not... Not exactly sleep but basically the same thing
I wrote down 10 words, but I was biased because I have read quite a lot today about witness testimony as I have to make a research paper for my exams.
My 2nd word is sleep! amazing
I wrote 10 of them.
9 were right, but I mistook rest for sleep.
I really knew he said something in an order like, go to bed, rest, than wake up tired like everyday. But I couldn't remember what was the word. Was it lay down, sleep? I couldn't remember so I put sleep becouse it was the first thing that came into my mind. Still, I got many right.
9 out of 15 is not bad actually.
Got me! Good video
I didn't use sleep. I just created a logical chain between the words he said as a story and then could remember most of them.
I had bed, snore, sluber, doze, rest
Didn't have sleep
All of the words are related to sleep
I actually new my brain was falsely associating those words with sleep so I didn't write it.
What was the song that was playing?
Pretty interesting. I'd think visuals may be different than words in quick successsion. But I admit: I had 6 and did write sleep. Although I had a half bottle of vodka and a bottle of white wine
I got 9 out of 15 and 1of them was sleep. Sleep is the 3rd word I wrote! I could've sworn he said sleep!!! Everything he did say had to do with sleep so I guess my mind just threw that in. Weird.
Dream, drousy, yawn, bed, tired, rest, awake,
I wrote down 7 words. I did not write down SLEEP. Because the video's title I was expecting one of the words which came to mind to be false, sleep was the obvious one. Had I not know the nature of the test then it's likely I would have written down "sleep"
i wrote "sleepy" instead of "sleep" does that count? oh i also spent sometime looking for a pen to write it down and didn't want to rewatch the video as it would defeat the purpose. i also got 8 words down. and sleepy was one of them.
Ah fuck I thought the twist was gonna be "awake"
lol I thought it was going to be alarm or something because of the word "snooze", but "sleep" made more sense for all the words XD
Was thinking why awake was there the whole time but I wasn't sure so I just wrote it down. I see what he did though he changed people's mind by putting awake which doesn't fit into the pattern of words that are in connotation to sleep changing their minds. (Got 9 out of 15 so meh :/)
I got 11 and I definitely knew sleep wasn't there
bed
rest
awake
tired
dream
wake
snooze
blanket
doze
slumber
snore
nap
pice
yawn
drowzing
i dont have sleep?
Passed.
And knew he didnt say sleep.
I just expected from the start that the second list won't match the first one so... idk what it means.
My list:
peace
yawn
drowsy
bed
dream
awake
tired
rest
snooze
Never wrote sleep.
I got 12 out of 15 at school but realised that i also put sleep!
😂
Weird i wrote sleep not even in the list.
I remembered eight correctly. And didn't misremeber
I didn't write sleep.
I don't memorize it, when he said "sleep" I'm kinda agree"
I got 13 without sleep. But one of the words I wrote 'dooze' instead of doze or snooze. Don't think that is a word.
Song Name?
I got 16/15😅
I added the word bed. I remembered 9 correctly. this is interesting.
i didnt get sleep lol
I really wrote sleep. Freaky.
i had sleep too ^^
Lol we watched this in class-
I know that I do not have sleep
9 words but not sleep 😅
I wrote 11 but not sleep... Others were correct too 😴
Bruh i don't even listen or write
I thought I heard sleep. I had awakes but you said bed rest drowsy I thought you put sleep at the end because I had it with drowsy your last word.
I had 12 words down but I never wrote sleep. Don't know how good that is lol.
Me too 😂
yeah i had sleep...but I was aware that it wasnt on the list :)
Irrelevant test, an eyewitness does not memorize a string of separate words. If they're going to recall something someone said, they might use their own words to convey what was said, but the overall meaning remains similar. I don't need to recall what words were in this video to describe that "the guy in the video told us to try to memorize a sequence of words, and they all involved the topic of sleep, such as sleep, bed, dream, etc."
Give the mind something to munch on, not something that is experientially meaningless, as a sequence of words related by topic but semantically separate.
I knew sleep wasn't the one. #proud!
"The innocence project" mostly relies on reopening ancient cases and unfortunately but unsurprisingly being unable to locate many of the key witnesses several decades after the event.
Cringe.
If it matters, I got 15/15. So I did not fall for the fake word.
I *was* supposed to write it all down, right? The video *said* to write it down. My handwriting isn't great, looks like I wrote "Drean" and "blankel" but nothing looks anything like "sleep". I don't mean to brag, in my anonymous youtube comment, but I cannot understand how anyone gets significantly less than 100% if they're writing the words down as he says them. Which feels like cheating, but he did say "if you're ready, and you have a pen", so I assume writing the words down as he said them was *not* cheating.
Bed, rest, awake, dream, tired, wake, snooze, blanket, doze, -, yawn, drowsy
i never thought about sleep cause in my mind i was connecting the words with a story when he read, like 'oh there's a BED, and she REST on it then AWAKE, she had a DREAM and TIRED after. She WAKE and SNOOZE (in my mind SNOOZE was SNEEZE) then i wipe my nose with BLANKET, ewh.. Why i think that.. How many DOZE she had.. Wait, what?' Then from there i kinda blank.
he is handsome❤
