Abstract

Post-identification feedback (PIF) is detrimental to eyewitness accuracy. However, jurors might be able to recognize when PIF is present and weight this information appropriately. We examined if jurors are sensitive to noticing PIF as well as biased instructions. Mock-jurors provided higher ratings of witness confidence when they saw PIF offered.
