Simultaneous and sequential lineups: Decision processes of accurate and inaccurate eyewitnesses.

摘要: The cognitive processes and decision-making strategies of eyewitnesses were tested for their predictive qualities in determining the accuracy identifications from lineups. sequential lineup presentation was compared with traditionally employed simultaneous under culprit (target) present absent conditions. Consistent previous research resulted an equivalent number correct to but reduced false identification rates. Although lineups found be associated use absolute strategies, those shown a reported both relative strategies. Accurate rejections irrespective or presence target. Also accurate identifications, at least lineup, generally made faster than inaccurate identifications. These results are studies respect effect that mode processing (relative versus judgements) has on witness's decision making accuracy.
