Witness Experiment

My assembled face

For this activity, we were put into groups and asked to go through magazines and find pictures of faces that were all roughly the same size. We then cut them out and cut them into pieces (eyes, nose, mouth, etc.) After everyone was through, we put all of the pieces in a pile, and everyone made a mismatched face. We showed the face to the person to our left, then mixed the pictures up again, and each person was to re-create the face they had been shown. This tested their ability to remember faces and, in turn, th\eir effectiveness as a witness. It turns out, I’m pretty detail oriented, so I found it easy.
