Human memory is one of the most important in allowing people to remember past events. Eyewitnesses are often crucial evidence in solving crimes, but also important evidence in determining who committed the crime. It is therefore essential to consider the reliability and accuracy of eyewitness memory in recalling details of past events and evaluating the crime. This article will argue against the argument for the reliability of eyewitness memory for recalling past events. Unfortunately, human memory may not be as reliable as we think, because eyewitness memory can have certain limitations and difficulties. Good witnesses are confident and remember details. This argument is supported by researchers Odinot, Wolters, van Koppen (2009) and Morgan, Hazlett G, Baranoski, Doran, Southwich and Loftus (2007). In Odinot et al. (2009), they claim that although eyewitness memory accuracy is high, their confidence is low. Odinot et al. (2009) suggested that jurors considered eyewitness confidence to be one of the most important elements in indicating the accuracy of eyewitness memory. Additionally, in Morgan et al. (2007) showed that there are potential factors such as personally relevant and stressful events that will affect eyewitness memories and biases. These two studies will strongly support this study; Additionally, both studies provide a good source of evidence for people to consider the reliability of eyewitness memory for testimony. The unreliability of human eyewitness memory in remembering past events under conditions of stress and other factors will be discussed in this article. Variables that affect the accuracy of eyewitness identification will also be discussed in this article. The objective of the study by Odinot et al. (2009) aims to determine the accuracy of a...... middle of paper ......n eyewitness memory is unreliable in perceiving past events. To conclude, it is clear from the results of Odinot et al. (2009) that even though most of the information stored by eyewitness memories was correct, there still exists a substantial proportion of incorrect eyewitness memories. In Morgan et al. (2007) proposed that a large proportion of inaccuracies in eyewitness memory are related to the perception and recall of past events under high stress. These two studies examine eyewitness memory using different methods and both studies clearly indicate that eyewitness memory is unreliable for remembering past events. These two studies strongly support the argument of this article. It is therefore very important for judges and juries to carefully review eyewitness testimony because there is a significant result of inaccurate and low confidence correlation..
