Underlying Mental Representation

The underlying mental representation may change over time, because (a) the eyewitness is exposed to some new information between T1 and T2 (e.g., either via communicating with other eyewitnesses, exposure to the media, or interviewers providing information via leading questions, [e.g., Gabbert, Memon, & Allen, 2003; Loftus, 1975]; see Yarbrough et al., this volume), or (b) there are systematic or random changes in the relative accessibility of events from T1 to T2, so that events that were relatively accessible at T1 may be less accessible at T2 (e.g., the different forgetting rates of gist and verbatim information; Brainerd & Reyna, 1993), or (c) the various events are rehearsed unequally, so that frequently rehearsed events become more accessible and infrequently rehearsed events become less accessible (see Hervé et al., this volume).
