Preferred term

response latency in eyewitness identification  

Definition

  • An important issue for the police and courts is the extent to which an eyewitness's decision about a lineup can be trusted as accurate. Consequently, psychologists have searched for variables associated with the witness's decision that help distinguish correct from incorrect decisions.
