Using objective measures to examine the effect of suspect-filler similarity on eyewitness identification performance

GL McKinley, DJ Peterson - Cognitive Research: Principles and …, 2022 - Springer
When selecting fillers to include in a police lineup, one must consider the level of similarity
between the suspect and potential fillers. In order to reduce misidentifications, an innocent
suspect should not stand out. Therefore, it is important that the fillers share some degree of
similarity. Importantly, increasing suspect-filler similarity too much will render the task too
difficult reducing correct identifications of a guilty suspect. Determining how much similarity
yields optimal identification performance is the focus of the proposed study. Extant research …
