“…However, it remains to be seen whether the false memory creating potential of eye movements is a robust phenomenon. Importantly, two recent direct replications (Calvillo & Emami, 2019;van Schie & Leer, 2019) failed to reproduce the phenomenon. Clearly, these contradictory findings require follow-up research.…”

“…After this initial demonstration, several research labs attempted to replicate this effect (Calvillo & Emami, 2019;Kenchel et al, in press;van Schie & Leer, 2019). In general, these authors failed to replicate the finding that eye movements increased the reporting of misinformation.…”

Does Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy affect the accuracy of memories? This recurrent issue in recent memory research bears relevance to expert witness work in the courtroom. In this review, we will argue that several crucial aspects of EMDR may be detrimental to memory. First, research has shown that eye movements undermine the quality and quantity of memory. Specifically, eye movements have been shown to decrease the vividness and emotionality of autobiographical experiences and amplify spontaneous false memory levels. Second, a sizeable proportion of EMDR practitioners endorse the controversial idea of repressed memories and discuss the topic of repressed memory in therapy. Third, in the Dutch EMDR protocol, patients are instructed to select the target image by using flawed metaphors of memory (e.g., memory works as a video). Such instructions may create demand characteristics to the effect that people over-interpret imagery during therapy as veridical memories. Collectively, the corpus of research suggests that several components of EMDR therapy (i.e., performing eye movements, therapist beliefs and therapeutic instructions) may undermine the accuracy of memory, which can be risky if patients, later on, serve as witnesses in legal proceedings.
