Question

This question considers the application of LTMs when it comes to our "Everyday Memory" (EDM; Ch7); but it also references some Ch5 material.
Imagine a scenario in which you are currently sitting on the JURY in a criminal court case where Benny, the defendant, is being charged with stealing money from his place of work - particularly from his superior (i.e., his boss) . As you listen to the **EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY** given from a colleague named Ralph who works with Benny, you hear the prosecuting lawyer ask a VERY SPECIFIC QUESTION (see down below) to Ralph, who is currently on the stand.

>> ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION...

Based on the scenario above, and making certain to reference the cognitive terminology and concepts you have learned, explain WHY the FIRST question phrased below is NOT LIKELY to be permitted in court, while the SECOND question IS more likely allowed. That is, HOW is asking the FIRST question potentially *more problematic* for Ralph's LTM about what he may have seen Benny do at work?
- "Ralph, would you please tell us about ALL THE PROBLEMS Benny has with your boss?"
- "Ralph, would you please describe the kind of relationship Benny has with your boss?"
As you answer this question, talk briefly about the LTM *sub-type(s)* that are involved for Ralph as he is being asked either of these questions while on the stand.
And ALSO make reference to the concept of MISREMEMBERING, as well as any known effects or phenomena concerning this concept, that may be "at play" in a delicate scenario in which Ralph is actually asked the FIRST question above!
