Abstract
⺠Presents a new theoretical perspective on the eyewitness misinformation effect. ⺠This memory conversion approach implies that the misinformation effect is reversible. ⺠In three studies postevent misinformation impaired memory performance in an initial test. ⺠After postwarning these misinformation effects disappeared, even after 5 weeks. ⺠Reversibility results from changing people's representation of the memory task.
