Humboldt University of Berlin

Professor of Criminal Law Franz von Liszt conducted a remarkable and memorable experiment at the Humboldt University of Berlin on December 4, 1901, together with psychologist William Stern. He staged a hostile exchange between two (acting) students, which escalated into a brawl and ultimately resulted in a gunshot. Psychologist William Stern would later investigate what the students remembered about this incident. It turned out to be highly questionable what people remember from stressful situations.
