Line-Up Image Position in Simultaneous and Sequential Line-Ups: The Effects of Age and Viewing Distance on Selection Patterns

摘要: It is known that children and older adults produce more false alarms in target absent line-ups weaker facial encoding increases choosing bias. However, there has been no investigation of how age or strength impacts line-up position selections either sequential simultaneous line-ups. In the present study, we presented participants with four live targets (one by one) while manipulating between within participants. order to investigate strength, at distances 5 110 m. Our main hypotheses were due deficits inhibition would be biased toward indiscriminate first compared subsequent positions increase for all groups as became weaker. line-ups, expected find a top row our sample (N = 1,588 participants; 6-77 years), found younger (6-11 years) oldest (60-77 showed bias weaker, (6-11, 12-17, 18-44, 45-59, 60-77 an increased tendency make selections. We also weak preference which was moderated distance. The finding results suggest had selection Based on combined results, recommend caution when using adults.
