When a witness fails to distinguish between a target person and another person encountered at a different time whose face is also familiar, this is called:
 
  a) a misinformation effect.
   b) unconscious transference.
   c) the sin of absentmindedness.
   d) the arousal mode of encoding.

Question 2

When Timothy McVeigh was arrested for the Oklahoma City bombing, his steps were traced to a Ryder Truck rental outlet.
 
  A worker at Ryder trucks also reported another man who had been with McVeigh. Police sought
   this man out as well, considering him a possible co-conspirator, and referring to him as John Doe 2. Later, it
   came out that John Doe 2 was actually an innocent man who had come into the Ryder rental place an hour
   or so after McVeigh. The Ryder worker's initial memory about John Doe2 is an example of:
   a) a misinformation effect.
   b) unconscious transference.
   c) photo bias.
   d) the effects of emotional stress on eyewitness memory.
