After they watch the video they are asked questions with misleading information. Like, "what did she do with the rench she picked up?" but she actually picked up a hammer. Then the person remembers a rench and not a hammer. Hyman, husband & billings, 1995: causing trouble at a wedding. Porter, yuille &lehman, 1999: attacked by a vicious animal.
