Zaragoza and Mitchell (1996) showed participants a video tape of a burglary, and then asked them many questions about what happened. Some of the questions were deliberately misleading, such as saying “At the beginning of the scene, a young man dressed in jeans, a t-shirt, and gloves entered the house. Did he enter through the door?” In fact, the young man did not wear gloves. Every participant heard some misleading statements zero times, other misleading statements once, and still other misleading statements three times. The experimenters examined how often participants later reported that the video actually included those incorrect observations. (As you might expect, the more often the statements were repeated, the more often they were reported as actually occurring.)
