Recall that Loftus and her colleagues (1978) showed participants a series of slides that depicted an automobile accident. Some participants saw a yield sign in the photos and other participants saw a stop sign

Later, participants were asked questions that contained information that either did or did not match what they had actually seen (i.e., a stop sign versus a yield sign). Results demonstrated that participants were LEAST accurate in remembering what they had actually seen when
a. they had a very short time to view the slide series.
b. question contents contradicted what they had actually seen.
c. question contents reflected what they had actually seen.
d. they reported what they had seen after being questioned, rather than before.

Answer: B
