Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Presenting the suspect and foils sequentially reduces the likelihood that the witness will rely on relative judgments (i.e. which person in the lineup looks most like the culprit) and instead forces them to base their decision on their memory of the culprit's appearance alone. This leads to more accurate identifications. Option A may not be effective because the suspect may still be identified based on vocal cues or other non-visual information. Option B may actually increase the likelihood of false identifications if the suspect stands out too much from the foils. Option D can lead to false identifications due to the witness feeling pressure to identify someone in the lineup, even if their memory of the culprit is not strong.
