Abstract
Eyewitness identification is highly suggestible to external factors. This can be seen with pre-admonition suggestion where a lineup administrator provides suggestive information prior to the lineup. The results revealed the pre-admonition suggestion increased choosing rates, however, the suggestion only increased retrospective judgments for inaccurate participants.
