Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that simultaneous lineups, in which all individuals are presented to the eyewitness at the same time, have a higher likelihood of leading to false identifications compared to sequential lineups. This is because in simultaneous lineups, the eyewitness may make a relative judgment, comparing the people in the lineup to one another rather than to their memory of the perpetrator. Sequential lineups, on the other hand, present individuals one at a time, reducing the potential for relative judgments and increasing accuracy. Immediate and precued lineups are not well-established terms in the lineup literature.
