Answer:
The first area where memory research can be applied to everyday life is crime and the legal process, particularly, eyewitness testimony. Elizabeth Loftus conducted a he body of research in this area involving over 20,000 subjects. Her work has shown that eyewitness testimony is often unreliable, that false memories can be triggered in up to 25% of individuals merely by suggestion, and that memory can be interfered with and altered by simply giving incorrect post-event information.
The second application of memory research to everyday life is in learning. There are different approaches to learning, however, broadly speaking, learning is seen as being a process by cognitive psychologists.
