Disguising external features affects identification accuracy in video identification lineups
Hooded garments are a widespread fashion article and readily lend themselves as a disguise in terms of covering the hair and majority of the face. The presence of external features and maintaining the context in which a face was first seen have both been found to facilitate unfamiliar face …

Multiple independent lineups: A procedure for corroborating eyewitness identification evidence in children
… exhibit problematic choosing on police lineups at a higher rate than adults (Fitzgerald & Price, 2015), which is an issue as mistaken eyewitness testimony is a leading cause of wrongful convictions (National Registry of Exonerations, 2019). This study examined a novel eyewitness …

Sequential lineups reduce unconscious transference and mistaken lineup identification: but at what cost?
… in the lineup with the thief. Sequential lineups decreased the rate of correct identifications when compared to previous studies that used simultaneous lineups. The results from Experiments 1 and 2 demonstrated that sequential lineups reduced the size of the unconscious transference …

Absolute and Relative Judgments and the Relationship Between Eyewitness Accuracy and Confidence
… comparing eyewitness accuracy and confidence for lineups in which the foils are visually similar to the suspect, a requirement for pristine testing, with lineups in which most of the foils are dissimilar to the suspect. We presented these lineups both simultaneously and sequentially. As sequential …

The impact of sequential lineups on unconscious transference: does knowing the number of photos in the lineup matter?
Unconscious transference occurs when a witness misidentifies a familiar but innocent person from a lineup. In Ross, Atkinson, Rosenberg, Pica, and Pozullo (2014), the use of a sequential lineup procedure, in which faces are presented one at a time, drastically reduced the unconscious transference …

Extra-Legal Information Transfer During Eyewitness Identification
<p>Researchers recommend that eyewitness lineups be conducted by administrators who do not know which lineup member is the suspect (i.e., that lineups be administered in a double-blind manner). Research on the effects of administrator knowledge generally support the idea that single-blind lineups …

Evaluating Projections and Developing Projection Models for Daily Fantasy Basketball
… sources are evaluated by constructing daily lineups based on the projections offered and evaluating those lineups in the context of all potential lineups, as well as those submitted by participants in competitive FanDuel DFS tournaments. Lineups produced by the machine learning models are …

Modeling Daily Fantasy Basketball
… multiple approaches to approximate optimal lineups. We then compare each different heuristic and lineup creation combination, and show that our best combinations perform much better than random lineups. Although creating provably optimal lineups is computationally infeasible, by focusing on …

Running head featural composites and lineups: "What big teeth you have" - Red Riding Hood and the face recognition failure : the effects of isolated featural and configural composite construction and recognition accuracy
When a crime is committed, law enforcement typically relies on the testimony of an eyewitness. However, eyewitness testimony is often susceptible to contamination. Eyewitnesses are usually required to construct a composite of the perpetrator. Research has suggested that eyewitnesses who construct …
