“…Of further concern is that whereas correct recall decreases as the retention interval increases, incorrect recall does not always decrease in a comparable manner, and in some cases even increases (Larsson, Granhag, & Spjut, 2003;Tuckey & Brewer, 2003). The net effect of these patterns is that longer retention intervals often lead to memory reports that are less accurate overall (Ebbesen & Rienick, 1998;Odinot & Wolters, 2006). Moreover, long delays also provide greater opportunity for memory to become contaminated by external sources such as co-witnesses (French, Garry, & Mori, 2011;Gabbert, Memon, & Allan, 2003;Hope, Ost, Gabbert, Healey, & Lenton, 2008).…”
