Does visual attention to diagnostic facial features predict eyewitness identification accuracy? Implications for diagnostic feature detection theory. [PDF]
PLoS ONEA police lineup includes a suspect and known-innocent fillers. The purpose of fillers is to protect an innocent suspect as witnesses must rely on their memory to make a lineup decision (i.e., select or reject).

Validating a multinomial processing tree model for measuring confidence in lineups using a post-response feedback manipulation [PDF]
Cognitive ResearchConfidence in lineup responses is important in research and practice. Here we introduce the lineup confidence model, an extension of the well-validated two-high threshold eyewitness identification model.

Detection of culprit presence in multiple-culprit crimes: A comparison of combined and separate lineup-presentation formats. [PDF]
PLoS ONEAlthough crimes involving multiple culprits are widespread, there is still a lack of understanding of how the police should construct lineups for multiple suspects in these cases.

Does Eyewitness Confidence Calibration Vary by Target Race? [PDF]
Behavioral SciencesAfter making a lineup decision, eyewitnesses may be asked to indicate their confidence in their decision. Eyewitness confidence is considered an important reflector of accuracy.

Delays reduce culprit-presence detection but do not affect guessing-based selection in response to lineups [PDF]
Scientific ReportsPolice lineups are conducted with varying delays between the crime and the lineup. Crime-to-lineup delays may adversely affect the detection of the presence and absence of the culprit in the lineup and may potentially affect guessing-based selection.

Lineup position affects guessing-based selection but not culprit-presence detection in simultaneous and sequential lineups [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe two-high threshold eyewitness identification model was applied to investigate the effects of lineup position on the latent cognitive processes underlying eyewitness responses in lineups.

Reflector variables in augmented reality lineups: Assessing eyewitness identification reliability in children and adults with confidence, response time, and proximity to the lineup. [PDF]
PLoS ONEAttending to the behaviors of eyewitnesses at police lineups could help to determine whether an eyewitness identification is accurate or mistaken. Eyewitness identification decision processes were explored using augmented reality holograms. Children (n =

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.

On the possible advantages of combining small lineups with instructions that discourage guessing-based selection [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe primary argument for including large numbers of known-to-be innocent fillers in lineups is that guessing-based selections are dispersed among a large number of lineup members, leading to low innocent-suspect identification rates.

Choosing lineup order vs knowing which lineup corresponds to which suspect: accuracy implications in multiple perpetrator identification [PDF]
Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences, 2021 Although many crimes involve multiple perpetrators, most eyewitness studies examine identification accuracy within the context of a single perpetrator.
