Abstract：
The present article addresses claims commonly made by prosecution witnesses in sexual assault trials: that attention narrows under stress, and that these attended aspects of the event are encoded in a way that ensures accuracy and resistance to fading and distortion. We provide evidence to contradict such claims. Given that what is encoded is largely the gist of one\'s interpretation of experience, we discuss the way in which attention and emotion can bias the interpretation of experience. We illustrate with issues of memory reports in cases of acquaintance rape, where the primary issue is the presence or absence of consent. We provide some specific illustrations concerning effects of emotion on interpretation of sexual consent. Finally, based on what is known regarding priming effects on memory retrieval and judgment, we conclude with discussion of the potential of some \"trauma-informed\" interviewing strategies to promote false memories (such as FETI: Forensic Experiential Trauma Interview).
摘要：
本文针对起诉证人在性侵犯审判中通常提出的主张：注意力在压力下变窄，并且这些参加活动的方面以确保准确性以及对衰落和失真的抵抗力的方式进行编码。我们提供证据来反驳这种说法。鉴于编码的内容在很大程度上是一个人对经验的解释的要点，我们讨论了注意力和情绪对经验解释的偏见。我们用熟人强奸的记忆报告来说明问题，其中主要问题是是否存在同意。我们提供了一些有关情绪对性同意解释的影响的具体说明。最后,根据已知的对记忆检索和判断的启动效应，最后，我们讨论了一些“创伤知情”访谈策略促进虚假记忆的潜力（例如FETI：法医体验性创伤访谈）。
