Abstract

After viewing a crime (or other event of interest) an eyewitness will often be presented with some form of identification task (either live or a photo array) and asked whether he or she recognizes someone from the lineup as a person of interest from the initial event. The lineup will generally include a suspect (who may or may not be the culprit) and a number of fillers (individuals known to be innocent).
