N2  - After observing a crime eyewitnesses are typically interviewed many times over an extended period of time. We examined how schema for a crime influenced the types of information eyewitnesses remembered and forgot across multiple interviews. People's schema for a bank robbery were identified, and recall of schema-consistent, schema-inconsistent and schema-irrelevant information was extracted from eyewitness interviews conducted in two experiments which manipulated retention interval (3 days-12 weeks) and number of interviews (2-4). Consistent with fuzzy-trace and associative network theories, schemas preserved accuracy for information central to the crime (schema-consistent and inconsistent) at the expense of schema-irrelevant information. Schema-consistent intrusions did not increase across interviews. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
