迄今为止，视频记录的目击者识别程序在协助评估人员评估目击者准确性方面具有未经检验的潜力。在研究 1 (N= 240) 中，平均而言，评估人员仅根据身份识别程序的视频就能成功地区分准确的证人和不准确的证人，但在提供无关的定罪证据时却无法区分。研究 2 (N= 433) 使用不同的刺激视频和证据的操作化复制了这种效果。研究 3（N = 957）显示，强调法医证据局限性的说明并不能保留评估者在提供无关的定罪案件证据时辨别准确性的能力。此外，案件信息影响其他判断（例如，对证人观点的看法）。总体而言，结果表明，评估人员只需根据识别过程的视频记录即可区分准确和不准确的证人，从而支持记录识别过程的建议。然而，当评估者了解其他案例证据时，这些评估就失去了效用。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）
Video-recorded eyewitness identification procedures have heretofore unexamined potential for assisting evaluators in assessing eyewitness accuracy. In Study 1 (N= 240), evaluators, on average, successfully differentiated accurate from inaccurate witnesses based on videos of identification procedures alone, but not when extraneous incriminating evidence was also provided. Study 2 (N= 433) replicated this effect using different stimulus videos and operationalizations of evidence. Study 3 (N= 957) revealed that instructions highlighting the limitations of forensic evidence did not preserve evaluators’ ability to discern accuracy when extraneous incriminating case evidence was provided. Moreover, case information affected other judgments (eg, perceptions of the witness’s view). Overall, results indicate that evaluators can differentiate between accurate and inaccurate witnesses, simply based on a video record of the identification procedure, bolstering recommendations to record identification procedures. However, these evaluations lose their utility when evaluators know about other case evidence.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
