Examining the cross-race effect in lineup identification using Caucasian and First Nations samples
This study examined whether findings from research on the cross-race effect (CRE) in eyewitness memory with Caucasian-Black samples can be generalised to Caucasian-First Nations pairings in a lineup identification task. This study used a novel approach to investigate the CRE, using six targets, as w...
