Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sequential line-up presentation, where witnesses view each lineup member one at a time, has been shown to lead to more accurate eyewitness identifications. This is because it reduces the likelihood of witnesses making relative judgments between lineup members and increases their attention to each individual lineup member. Simultaneous line-up presentation can lead to misidentifications due to the witness making a relative judgment between lineup members rather than focusing on each individual separately.
