Evaluating Eyewitness Identification Procedures Using Receiver Operating Characteristic Analysis (2014, unknown): “Thus, the empirical pattern reported by Lindsay and Wells (1985)—a pattern that Steblay et al. (2011) described as being representative of the current literature—is consistent with the idea that the sequential procedure induces conservative responding without increasing discriminability (see Palmer…”
Showups versus lineups: An evaluation using ROC analysis (2012, background): “Two meta-analyses (Steblay, Dysart, Fulero, & Lindsay, 2001; Steblay et al., 2011) have concluded that sequential lineups produce more accurate ID evidence—the benefit of reduced false IDs exceeds the cost of reduced correct IDs.”
Receiver operating characteristic analysis and confidence–accuracy characteristic analysis in investigations of system variables and estimator variables that affect eyewitness memory (2015, background): “For xample, if (ignoring confidence) sequential lineups typically yield higher diagnosticity ratio than simultaneous lineups – as some laim (e.g., Steblay et al., 2011) but others dispute (Clark, 2012; ronlund et al., 2012) – then, disregarding confidence, an ID made rom a sequential lineup would…”
