• Conclusions 

  Loftus and Palmer concluded that memory is not a fixed record but rather reconstructive, subject to distortion by post-event information, including leading questions. The wording of a question can influence how an event is remembered, highlighting the unreliability of eyewitness testimony.  
• This study underscores the fragility of memory and emphasises the need for careful and unbiased questioning to avoid contaminating eyewitness accounts.
