THE RELIABILITY OF EYEWITNESS CONFIDENCE 1 Initial Eyewitness Confidence Reliably Predicts Eyewitness Identification Accuracy
Eyewitness memory is widely believed to be unreliable because (1) high-confidence eyewitness misidentifications played a role in over 70% of the now more than 300 DNA exonerations of wrongfully convicted men and women, (2) forensically-relevant laboratory studies have often reported a weak relationship between eyewitness confidence and accuracy, and (3) memory is sufficiently malleable that, no...

متن کاملMethodological Notes on the Accuracy-Confidence Relation in Eyewitness Identifications
The important question of whether confidence and accuracy are related in eyewitness identifications involves a number of methodological considerations peculiar to the eyewitness setting. Inconsistencies in the literature are attributed in part to these methodological factors. Distinctions between four types of identification error (i.e., false identification, identification of foil in perpetrat...
متن کاملTHE RELIABILITY OF EYEWITNESS CONFIDENCE 1 The Relationship between Eyewitness Confidence and Identification Accuracy: A New Synthesis
2 Summary The U.S. legal system increasingly accepts the idea that the confidence expressed by an eyewitness who identified a suspect from a lineup provides little information as to the accuracy of that identification. There was a time when this pessimistic assessment was entirely reasonable because of the questionable eyewitness identification procedures that police commonly employed. However,...
متن کاملEyewitness accuracy and confidence: within- versus between-subjects correlations.
Previous researchers using between-subjects comparisons have found eyewitness confidence and accuracy to be only negligibly correlated. In this study, we examined the predictive power of confidence in within-subject terms. Ninety-six subjects answered, and made confidence ratings for, a series of questions about a crime they witnessed. The average between-subjects and within-subject accuracy-co...
