Resumo

Statement content analysis based on reality criteria (Undeutsch hypothesis) has revealed as a valid instrument to discriminate between memories of self-experienced events (real-life) and fabricated memories of accounts. Nevertheless, much of the available scientific evidence provides from experiments where real-life memories were substituted by memories of events seen video (non-experienced). As for knowing if reality criteria do discriminate between self-experienced memories and fabricated memories of events seen in a video, the testimony of 30 adult participants was obtained about an autobiographic event (self-experienced) and about of an event seen on video (fabricated). The results showed that the total CBCA (Criteria-Based Content Analysis) criteria, as well as several reality criteria discriminated between both memories in line with the Undeutsch hypothesis. Nonetheless, other reality criteria did not discriminate, were unproductive or discriminated against the hypothesis. A similar pattern of outcomes was found for the classification rate of the selfexperienced memory. The implications of the results for forensic practice are discussed.

En conclusión, si bien la hipótesis Undeutsch es válida para discernir (y clasificar) entre memorias de hechos auto-experimentados y fabricadas de hechos (Amado et al., 2015, 2016; Oberlader et al., 2016), incluidas aquellas basadas en hechos visionados en vídeo (este estudio), la técnica derivada de la misma de referencia, el SVA, que incluye el análisis de contenido basado en los criterios de realidad del CBCA, no cumple con el criterio (Arce, 2017) Futura investigación debería profundizar más en la capacidad discriminativa y de clasificación de los criterios de realidad entre memorias de hechos auto-experimentados y fabricadas de hechos basadas en el visionado de los mismos (no experimentados), especialmente abordándola con diseños de investigación que confronten las limitaciones apuntadas al presente estudio.
