Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Verbal facilitation refers to the use of verbal cues and prompts to enhance eyewitness memory. It is commonly used in show-ups, where a witness is shown a single suspect and asked to identify whether they are the perpetrator or not. Verbal facilitation can help the witness focus their attention on specific details, making it more likely they will make an accurate identification or exclusion. Line-ups and hemifield neglect are not directly related to verbal facilitation, while "grow-ups" is not a recognized term in eyewitness identification literature.
