    Read the following information.

    A police officer is reading the statements of two eyewitnesses. Both statements describe the same robbery committed by one person in a local shop.

    The first eyewitness described the robber as being a male, in his late teens, wearing a red hoodie and not carrying a weapon.

    The second eyewitness described the robber as being a male with a facial scar, in his late-twenties, wearing a red T-shirt and carrying a knife.

    Use your knowledge of the theory of reconstructive memory to explain why each eyewitness gave different descriptions of the same robber.
