Identifying the bad guy with deadlined confidence judgments

人们对成功地进行刑事调查非常感兴趣。身份测试通常用于此类调查，但目击证人的决策准确性仍然低得令人无法接受。虽然目击者记忆研究已经对提高识别决策的诊断能力的程序的发展做出了重大贡献，但我们的建议提供了可以显著提高诊断能力的激进的新选择。在完善和评估这些备选方案的过程中，我们将提升澳大利亚科学研究的形象，并为年轻的澳大利亚和海外科学家提供丰富的国际培训环境。

There is major interest in the successful conduct of criminal investigations. Identity tests are commonly used in such investigations, but eyewitness decision accuracy is still unacceptably low. While eyewitness memory research has already contributed significantly to the development of procedures that improve the diagnosticity of identification decisions, our proposal offers radical new alternatives that can significantly improve diagnosticity. In refining and evaluating these alternatives we will boost the profile of Australian science research and provide rich international training environments for young Australian and overseas scientists.
