question 29

Multiple Choice

Participants viewed a series of slides depicting an automobile accident. Immediately afterward, half of the participants were asked, "How fast were the cars going when they hit each other?" Other participants were asked, "How fast were the cars going when they smashed into each other?" One week later, all participants were asked more questions about the slides, including whether they had seen any broken glass in the slides. A comparison of the two groups of participants is likely to show that:

• A) participants who were asked the "smashed" question gave higher estimates of speed and were more likely to remember seeing broken glass
• B) the groups gave similar estimates of speed, but the "smashed" group was more likely to remember seeing broken glass
• C) participants who were asked the "smashed" question gave higher estimates of speed, but the groups gave similar responses to the "broken glass" question
• D) the minor contrast in how the groups were questioned had no effect on participants' memories
