Presentation Transcript

  1. Concerning the article on Repressed Memory Syndrome: Suppose you were on a jury, and a person testified in court that during therapy they remembered being molested as a child, and that they previously had repressed their memory. Suppose their testimony included many vivid details, but there was no other corroborating evidence. Would you vote to convict the accused? • No. Since a person’s memory can be mistaken, there better be some corroborating evidence before I vote to put someone in prison. • Yes. Lawyers and scientists have no business challenging personal memories, especially if the person believes them strongly. Besides, better safe then sorry when dealing with a molester. • I’m not sure how I would vote • I didn’t read the article 

  2. Did the class discussions of science as a way of “trying not to fool yourself,” how science must be based on evidence, or of “Alien Abductions,” affect how you just voted? • Yes • No
