大量的研究集中在目击者的识别性能作为顺序和同步的阵容呈现方法的函数。我们考察了个体认知能力差异是否会影响目击证人的指认,以及这些因素是否会导致指认方式的表现差异。我们发现,面部识别能力、工作记忆能力和自闭症特征水平的个体差异确实导致了不同的表现。阵容表现的差异是由于个体差异和陈述方法的相互作用,这表明有可能通过根据单个目击者的能力定制阵容陈述方法来提高目击者识别的准确性。(C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd .版权所有
A great deal of research has focused on eyewitness identification performance as a function of sequential versus simultaneous lineup presentation methods. We examined if individual differences in cognitive ability influence eyewitness identification, and whether these factors lead to performance differences as a function of lineup presentation method. We found that individual differences in facial recognition ability, working memory capacity, and levels of autistic traits, did result in differential performance. Differences in lineup performance are due to the interaction of individual differences and presentation method, signaling that it is possible to enhance the accuracy of eyewitness identifications by tailoring a lineup presentation method to the capabilities of an individual eyewitness.
