TLDR
It is found that sequential lineups suffered from an unwanted position effect, and may give rise to unwanted position effects that have to be considered when conducting police lineups.
Abstract
For decades, sequential lineups have been considered superior to simultaneous lineups in the context of eyewitness identification. However, most of the research leading to this conclusion was based...

Designing police lineups to maximize memory performance

TL;DR: The main goal of the current research is to systematically isolate the differences between the U.S. and U.K. lineups to determine their effects on discriminability and reliability.

The new science of eyewitness memory

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the prevailing view among criminal justice and legal practitioners, and the general public, is that eyewitness evidence is generally inaccurate and unreliable, and they argue that that perspective fails to take the full cognitive context of eyewitness reports into account.

Confidence and Response Time as Indicators of Eyewitness Identification Accuracy in the Lab and in the Real World

TL;DR: In this article, a new technique that is similar to CAC analysis, called response time-accuracy characteristic (RAC) analysis, was proposed to inform stakeholders about the likely accuracy of an identification while usefully summarizing response time data.

Making sense of sequential lineups: An experimental and theoretical analysis of position effects

TL;DR: In this article, a simple signal detection model was proposed to predict how the sequential lineup procedure should affect the ability of eyewitnesses to discriminate innocent from guilty suspects, and the results of two experiments reported here confirmed these predictions.
