Eyewitness Recall: A field Experiment

Research Aim
The purpose of performing this experiment is to find the accuracy of
eyewitness.
Rationale
If any person sees anything like picture, word or any thing and any other
testing the recall of this person by eyewitness.
Hypothesis
Many scientists perform Eyewitness recall experiment. Eyewitness is used to
establish points in a criminal investigation. Eyewitness is happening when
any person witnesses a crime (accident, legal important crime) and tell all
the details of witnessed in the court.
Hypothesis reason
Often it can be the strongest evidence in criminal case. Eyewitness has been
used in the world in any case. Some Researchers at Ohio State University
said that eyewitness is not so accurate because they examined
approximately 53% eyewitness mistakes and find error in it. Due to the key
properties of eyewitness
 Often reliable
 Highly persuasive to jurors

Material
Participants were 120 students (78 men and 42 women) that are take part in
this experiment. All the students had common or corrected to common
sight.
Testing
Testing is performed in the groups of 30 participants. The pairs of pictures of
persons as a target used in this experiment where the task for participants is
to settle that the twice faces belong to the alike person. The targets were
introduced either as static images or live. Then participants analyze picture
and recall which targets are same. The real/live contrast was evaluated
between participants, then the items were turn throughout some
circumstances such as individual face was show equal in match and
mismatch trials in the whole test. All the participants are self-placed and
encourage to answer correct as likely. See figure 1:

Figure 1. Participants see these two face targets and decide even the two
faces belong to the same person. The top pair does not match, whereas the
bottom pair match.

Result
Accuracy appear no notable difference between live and static conditions,
either by-participants or by-item. The whole data of match and mismatch
trials of target by all the groups of participants are taken, then they have
reliable difference in each group. According to the experiment, the live
condition makes more hits when the target is present, and more FPs when
he is absent in static condition
