AFC Lab & CARLA Talk Series
Duration
70 minutes
In 2014, the US National Research Council called for the development of new lineup technologies to increase eyewitness identification accuracy (National Research Council, 2014). In a police lineup, a suspect is presented alongside multiple individuals known to be innocent who resemble the suspect in physical appearance know as fillers. A correct identification decision by an eyewitness can lead to a guilty suspect being convicted or an innocent suspect being exonerated from suspicion. An incorrect decision can result in the perpetrator remaining at large, or even a wrongful conviction of a mistakenly identified person. Incorrect decisions carry considerable human and financial costs, so it is essential to develop and enact lineup procedures that maximise discrimination accuracy, or the witness’ ability to distinguish guilty from innocent suspects. This talk focuses on new technology and innovation in the field of eyewitness identification. We will focus on the interactive lineup, which is a procedure that we developed based on research and theory from the basic science literature on face perception and recognition. The interactive lineup enables witnesses to actively explore and dynamically view the lineup members. The procedure has been shown to maximize discrimination accuracy, which is the witness’ ability to discriminate guilty from innocent suspects. The talk will conclude by reflecting on emerging technological frontiers and research opportunities.
