AI Summary

A study by Stephen Charman of Florida International University’s Department of Psychology examined how well eyewitnesses recall the identification process itself. Participants received pre‑lineup instructions and, after the lineup, some were given feedback on their performance. The research, published in Applied Cognitive Psychology, found that witnesses who received feedback remembered the identification details more accurately than those who did not. The results suggest that post‑identification feedback can improve witnesses’ memory of the procedure, a factor that may affect the reliability of eyewitness testimony.
