Question 2: Describe the sample of adults used in this study
Answer:
53, including 36F and 17M. Aged 17-30 years, average age of 20.54 years
Question 3: What was the aim of this study?
Answer:
To determine whether children are more influenced by social factors than cognitive factors (i.e. make false positive responses due to social pressure)
Question 4: What is meant by 'false rejection' in this study?
Answer:
When they wrongly choose a foil even though the target was absent
Question 5: Describe the clothes worn by the administrators
Answer:
professional-casual clothing (e.g., sweater/blouse and dress-pants). Neat, but not overly formal
Question 6: What is meant by 'correct rejection' in this study?
Answer:
When they accurately say the target is absent from the line up Question 7: How did researchers control other identifying features of the cartoon targets?
Answer:
They cropped the image to only show the face (no clothing) and used black & white images.Question 8: What were the correct rejection rates for adults? (include humans and cartoons)
Answer:
70% for humans and 94% for cartoons
Question 9: List the independent variables in this study
Answer:
Adult or child ppt; Target-absent or target-present; Human or cartoon face
Question 10: How did researchers create a level of comfort for the children?
Answer:
They worked with the children to make some crafts before watching the videos
Question 11: What did Pozzulo conclude from this study?
Answer:
Children are affected by social factors more than adults, and therefore are more likely to give false positive responses Question 12: How did researchers ensure they received informed consent for the children?
Answer:
Parents/guardians of the children attending private schools in the community were supplied with a written consent form. Only children with consent were invited to participate
Question 13: What is eyewitness testimony?
Answer:
The recall from people who have seen or heard an incident, such as a crime
Question 14: What is meant by a 'target-absent' condition?
Answer:
When the line-up is made up of only foils and not the target
Question 15: What is the psychology being investigated in this study?
Answer:
Eyewitness testimony; false positive responses
Question 16: What is a 'foil' in this study?
Answer:
A figure that was not in the target video
Question 17: Describe the videos involving cartoon targets
Answer:
6-second video clip; either Dora the Explorer talking to her audience or Go Diego Go putting on a pair of gloves. Each clip involved a 2-3s close-up of the face.Question 18: What instructions were provided to the participants prior to each lineup?
Answer:
"Please look at the photos. The person/cartoon from the video may or may not be here. If you see the person/cartoon please point to the photo. If you do not see the person/cartoon, please point to this box (indicating)"
Question 19: Why did researchers use cartoon figures?
Answer:
To provide a familiar target face that roughly 100% of children would recognise, so that cognitive factors are controlled
Question 20: In the lineup, how many faces were they shown?
Answer:
Four
Question 21: How were human foils selected in this study?
Answer:
Three raters selected from 90F and 90M faces. They were chosen for similarity of facial structure, hair length and colour Question 22: What were the correct rejection rates for children? (include humans and cartoons)
Answer:
45% for humans and 74% for cartoons
Question 23: What is meant by a 'target-present' condition?
Answer:
When the target is shown as part of the line-up
Question 24: What is meant by 'false identification' in this study?
Answer:
When they select the wrong face (a foil) from the line up Question 25: This study is described as having a 'mixed factorial design'. What does that mean in this study?
Answer:
It combines independent groups and repeated measures, as there are three main Ivs Question 26: In background to the study, what did Pozzulo & Lindsay find was different between children and adults in EWT?
Answer:
Children made more false positive responses than adults
Question 27: What type of experiment was used?
Answer:
Lab (though the IV of age was naturally-occurring)
Question 28: List the dependent variables in this study
Answer:
Correct identification/rejection rates (whether they identify the right face/reject a lineup where the target is absent)
