{ "pk": 27583, "title": "Investigating the Impact of Sleep on Eyewitness Memory", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "How sleep impacts the accuracy of identifications that eyewitnesses make from lineups is unknown. For a com-prehensive understanding of eyewitness performance, two types of eyewitness ID accuracy are considered: discriminability(the ability to distinguish innocent from guilty suspects) and reliability (the probability that the identified suspect was the of-fender). The well-known role sleep plays in memory consolidation should apply to an eyewitness’s ability to discriminate, butnot necessarily their reliability. That is what we investigated in a large-scale forensically-relevant experiment. We compareddiscriminability and reliability from sleep (sleep occurs between witnessing a crime and lineup test) and wake (remains awakebetween crime and lineup) conditions. Furthermore, theorists have long been using signal-detection models to understandrecognition memory, but its use is new to the field of eyewitness ID research. Thus, we compared signal-detection models withdifferent decision rules. Our findings shed light on the impact sleep has on eyewitness IDs.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Posters: Member Abstracts", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2ps4f46g", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "David", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Morgan", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of London", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Jakke", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Tamminen", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of London", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Laura", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Mickes", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of London", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2017-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27583/galley/17219/download/" } ] }
