An examination of the cognitive processes related to eyewitness lineup decisions
Given the magnitude of errors in the criminal justice system, it is vital to increase our capacity to predict when an eyewitness is likely to be accurate. The aim of this work was to examine cognitive processes important for correct lineup responses and to develop a theoretically-driven model of the relative strength of these processes and the interactions between them for predicting the likelihood of an accurate lineup decision. We used sleep to…
Eyewitness confidence may not be ready for the courts
) remind us that they are aware of some conditions in which confidence does not trump all but suggest that initial high-confidence errors should be rare. In this reply, we draw attention to new lab research that continues to cast doubt on the value of an initial eyewitness identification made with high confidence. Additional data from field studies of police lineups lead us to conclude that it is far too risky in real-world cases to assume that e…
Convicting with confidence? Why we should not over-rely on eyewitness confidence
Eyewitness memory researchers have recently devoted considerable attention to eyewitness confidence. While there is strong consensus that courtroom confidence is problematic, we now recognise that an eyewitness's initial confidence in their first identification - in certain contexts - can be of value. A few psychological scientists, however, have confidently, but erroneously claimed that in real-world cases, eyewitness initial confidence is the m…
