actually result in fewer correct rejections made by children. Although they explored this area, the results showed that even with identification practice/training, a child witnesses’ correct rejection rates did not increase. They discussed suggestions and presented future directions for identification research. Procedures used by Police and Courtrooms Lindsay's, and several others’ research has contributed greatly to procedures used by police and courtrooms, including the way in which police lineups are conducted (sequential or simultaneous), strategies for choosing lineup fillers, the relationship between eyewitnesses confidence and their accuracy, etc. Lindsay and Gary Wells developed a different lineup procedure in which culprits are presented to the eyewitness one at a time rather than simultaneously. This is known as sequential presentation. Sequential presentation was produced with the intentions of reducing the inclination of eyewitnesses to rely on relative judgment in which they decide who looks most like the culprit. In a sequential presentation lineup, eyewitnesses are forced to decide whether or not the lineup member is the perpetrator or not before viewing the next lineup member. Lindsay and Wells’ data showed that in regards to correct identification rates when the culprit was present, simultaneous and sequential procedures produced very similar rates. However, when the lineup did not contain the culprit the rate of mistaken identifications was significantly higher for the simultaneous presentation than the sequential lineup presentation.
