9. 9Choose one strength of Yarmey (2004)

   1. APhoto lineup supports Harber and Harber (2001) findings showing that there is some reliability in the study both finding witnesses are 50% accurate in line-up identification with the target present.
   2. BRange of ages of the participants and the focus on gender to ensure a balance means its likely to have good generalisability to the wider population.
   3. CWitness recall focused on a situation where the participant had met and spoken to the target. This is not always the case for an eyewitness to an event, so the findings should only be applied to similar situations.
10. 10State one weakness of Yarmey (2004)

    1. APhoto line-up is not the same as a real life line-up not the same as an actual person being there; there would have been other emphasis/focus on facial characteristics. Meaning it lacks validity even though it has ecological validity.
    2. BStudy found that age was better identified than other physical characteristics. Yuille and Cutshall study found the opposite, so not all findings
