post-identification feedback effect

The effect on retrospective judgments of providing feedback to the eyewitness after he or she has identified a person in a lineup. For example, if this feedback confirms that the person identified is the suspect, the eyewitness tends to be more confident in his or her decision, to feel that he or she perceived the perpetrator better, or to have identified the person more easily, compared to a person who did not receive this feedback.
