MORI technique  

Definition

  • A technique for studying social influences on memory. “The technique allows people to watch different movies on the same screen at the same time without realizing that each of them sees something different. As a result, researchers can create a situation in which people feel as though they share an experience, but systematic differences are introduced into their memories, and the effect of those differences can be tracked through a discussion.” (French et al., 2009, p. 1224).
