Table 4.
Observed response frequencies and proportions (in parentheses) as a function of lineup position in Experiment 2 (sequential lineups). The frequencies and proportions of culprit and innocent-suspect identifications refer to the number of culprits and innocent suspects that were identified in each lineup position in culprit-present and culprit-absent lineups, respectively. Similarly, the frequencies and proportions of filler identifications in culprit-present and culprit-absent lineups refer to the number of fillers that were identified in the respective lineup position. The frequencies and proportions of false and correct lineup rejections refer to the rejections of the culprit-present and culprit-absent lineups in which culprits or innocent suspects were placed in the respective lineup position. The proportions are rounded to two decimal places and therefore do not always add up exactly to 1.
