Explain the difference between a sequential and simultaneous lineup. What are the consequences of using each?
What will be an ideal response?
A sequential lineup involves seeing each person individually and making a judgment for each person whether he or she is the suspect or not. In a simultaneous lineup, people are to make a judgment about the group as a whole by selecting from the group the person they recognize as the suspect. Research shows that the simultaneous lineup may result in more false identifications, because people assume that the suspect is present and choose the person that looks the most like the suspect rather than comparing each person individually to their memory of the suspect.
