Mr. Cotton spent 11 years in prison before DNA testing proved that someone else, a man named Bobby Poole, had actually attacked Jennifer. Although correct procedures were followed in the investigation, a combination of several factors led to Jennifer's confident and persuasive testimony during Ronald Cotton's trial. Which of the following presents a scenario where positive feedback could have impacted Jennifer's identification of her assailant? a. Jennifer was given only ten minutes to identify her attacker from the lineup.
b. Jennifer was shown several photos simultaneously rather than a sequence of photos.
c. Jennifer was not informed that her attacker might not be in the lineup.
d. Officers told Jennifer that the man she identified in the photo array had been involved in other breaking-and-entering crimes.

The correct answer is - option D. Officers told Jennifer that the man she identified in the photo array had been involved in other breaking-and-entering crimes.

Explanation:

In this case, Jennifer claimed that Mr. Cottons is the person who attacked her based on her memory and wrong source of information, however, it eventually found out that it was Bobby, not Cottons.

It is most likely to happen on the basis of options that she gets additional information called suggestibility, about her previous crimes and escaping. She constructed a memory on the suggestibility instead of retrieving the incident. Thus, she concluded that Mr. Cotton was her perpetrator.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
