Eyewitness <strong>Memory</strong> • memory integration (malleability) – Elizabeth Loftus (1978): series of accident slides • Viewed stop or yield sign • “Did another car pass the red Datsun while it was stopped at the stop/yield sign?” • recognition of slides – two alternative forced choice testing (2-AFC) » no need to compare hit and false alarm rates » Post-event misinformation effect (retroactive interference)
Eyewitness Lineups • what’s the best way to conduct a lineup? – maximize identification of guilty suspects (hits) – minimize identification of innocent suspects (false alarms) • selecting distractors in a lineup (known-innocents) – the use of mock eyewitnesses – match-to-description, or also resemble-suspect? • either way, innocent suspect is protected • if distractors resemble-suspect, identification of guilty suspect is lower • demand characteristics – subtle cues – exert pressure to select (relative judgment) – double-blind eliminates these concerns • Not adopted by law enforcement • relative judgments versus absolute identification – sequential lineups emphasize absolute identification • reduces identification of innocent suspects • however, also reduces identification of guilty suspect • w/o double-blind, can increase demand characteristics
