ROC curves show that simultaneous and sequential lineups equally affect eyewitness ID error

ROC curves show the impact of willingness to choose on identification performance

ROC curves only work in the lab, not in the field

ROC curves show which lineup procedure is better, regardless of the eyewitness’ willingness to choose

First-yes-counts instruction produces conservative criterion shifts (ie reduces the number of identifications) in eyewitnesses and can therefore be misleading

First-yes-counts instruction only has a statistical impact on the number of suspect IDs due to the termination of the lineup

First-yes-counts instruction does not affect the number or type of identifications by eyewitnesses in lineups

First-yes-counts instruction is beneficial to suspects and should be included in all future lineups
