==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
[[Anecdotal Evidence]] is a type of non-scientific [[evidence]] that relies on someones personal experience which cannot be [[repeatable|repeated]] or [[reproducible|reproduced]] so no one can double check if it's true.

===Meaning===
: '''Anecdotal evidence''' is not trusted by [[scientist]]s because it is possible that people may be:
:*Mistaken - People don't always correctly understand what they have experienced.
:*Dishonest - Some people may not tell the truth about what they have experienced.
:*Hallucinating - Human experiences are not always real including dreams and hallucinations that may be mistaken for real events.
:*Suggestible - Humans can be tricked into believing they have experienced something when they have not. Many [[experiment]]s have shown that memory is not perfect and that false memories can be implanted into a persons mind.
: Witness statements in a court of law are '''anecdotal evidence'''.
