The effect of pre-event instructions on eyewitness identification [PDF]
Cognitive Research, 2023 Research on eyewitness identification often involves exposing participants to a simulated crime and later testing memory using a lineup. We conducted a systematic review showing that pre-event instructions, instructions given before event exposure, are ...

Evaluating the impact of first-yes-counts instructions on eyewitness performance using the two-high threshold eyewitness identification model [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 In eyewitness research, multiple identification decisions in sequential lineups are typically prevented by telling participants that only their first identification decision counts.

Measuring lineup fairness from eyewitness identification data using a multinomial processing tree model [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 The mock-witness task is typically used to evaluate the fairness of lineups. However, the validity of this task has been questioned because there are substantial differences between the tasks for mock witnesses and eyewitnesses. Unlike eyewitnesses, mock

A validation of the two-high threshold eyewitness identification model by reanalyzing published data [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The two-high threshold (2-HT) eyewitness identification model serves as a new measurement tool to measure the latent cognitive processes underlying eyewitness identification performance.

Experimental validation of a multinomial processing tree model for analyzing eyewitness identification decisions [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 To improve police protocols for lineup procedures, it is helpful to understand the processes underlying eyewitness identification performance. The two-high threshold (2-HT) eyewitness identification model is a multinomial processing tree model that ...

A multi-item signal detection theory model for eyewitness identification [PDF]
Cognitive ResearchHow do witnesses make identification decisions when viewing a lineup? Understanding the witness decision-making process is essential for researchers to develop methods that can reduce mistaken identifications and improve lineup practices.

A perceptual scaling approach to eyewitness identification [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Eyewitness errors contribute to wrongful convictions. Here, the authors present a lineup procedure that reveals the structure of eyewitness memory, reduces decision bias, and measures performance of individual witnesses.

Application of artificial intelligence to eyewitness identification [PDF]
Cognitive ResearchArtificial intelligence is already all around us, and its usage will only increase. Knowing its capabilities is critical. A facial recognition system (FRS) is a tool for law enforcement during suspect searches and when presenting photos to eyewitnesses ...

The effects of repeated lineups and delay on eyewitness identification [PDF]
Cognitive Research, 2019 A significant problem in eyewitness identification occurs when witnesses view a suspect in one venue such as a mugshot and then later in a lineup where the suspect is the only previously viewed person.

Eyewitness identification performance is not affected by time-of-day optimality [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 The circadian rhythm regulates arousal levels throughout the day and determines optimal periods for engaging in mental activities. Individuals differ in the time of day at which they reach their peak: Morning-type individuals are at their best in the ...
