PSAY1: Eyewitness testimony & Age

Question	Answer
Pozullo and Lindsay	Conducted a meta analysis and found that children under 5 are particularly unreliable. Older children and adults are more accurate but may still pick someone from the lineup when the culprit is not present.
Dodson and Kreuger	Using a laboratory experiment, these researchers found that elderly participants were easily influenced by misleading information.
Anastasi and Rhodes	Found support for own age bias. Young and middle aged adults were more accurate at recall but all age groups performed better when identifying faces from their own age group.
Wright and Stroud	Elderly witnesses are more accurate when identifying an elderly culprit.
Keast, Brewer and Wells	Found that young children are over confident in their responses during an EWT. Likely to be due to the misunderstanding of how serious the situation is.
