{"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/"}]}
