Jurors swear to base their verdicts solely on the evidence presented at trial. Their recall of a trial during deliberation can, however, be inaccurate, exposing other jurors to misinformation about the trial. This study examined whether jurors who are exposed to misinformation during a simulated deliberation, where the misinformation supports the prosecution's case, will misremember the misinformation as appearing during a trial and be more likely to reach a guilty verdict. It also examined whether allowing jurors to take notes during a trial, and refer to those notes throughout, stops these potentially harmful effects.

在模拟陪审团审议过程中遇到的错误信息可能会使陪审员对审判的记忆产生扭曲，并使他们的裁决产生偏差

陪审团宣誓仅根据审判时提供的证据作出裁决。然而，他们在审议过程中对审判的回忆可能是不准确的，使其他陪审员容易了解审判的错误信息。这项研究调查了在模拟审议过程中暴露于错误信息的陪审员，如果该错误信息支持了起诉方的案件，他们是否会在审判期间错误地记住该错误信息，并且更有可能做出有罪判决。它还检查了是否允许陪审员在审判期间做笔记，并在整个过程中参考这些笔记，是否可以停止这些潜在的有害影响。
