Abstract: | Comments on M. McCloskey and H. E. Egeth's (see record 1984-06612-001) argument that psychologists should not give expert testimony concerning eyewitness reliability on the basis of psychological findings on perception and memory. The present author discusses the importance of process issues in legal situations and contests McCloskey and Egeth's conclusions concerning "overbelief" of eyewitness accuracy.
