摘要:
The effects of viewing mug shots on subsequent identification performance are as yet unclear, Two experiments used a live staged-crime paradigm to determine if interpolated eyewitness exposure to mug shots caused interference, unconscious transference, or commitment effects influencing subsequent lineup accuracy. Experiment 1 (N = 104) tested interference effect,. Similar correct decision rates were obtained for the mug shot and no mug shot group, from both perpetrator-present and absent lineups, Experiment 2 (N = 132) tested for commitment and transference effect,, Results showed that the commitment group made significantly more incorrect identifications than either the control or the transference group, which had similar false-identification rates. Commitment effects present a serious threat to identification accuracy from lineups following mug shot searches.
