This study examined whether findings from research on the cross-race effect (CRE) in eyewitness memory with Caucasian-Black samples can be generalised to Caucasian-First Nations pairings in a lineup idenliflcation task. This study used a novel approach to investigate the CRE. using six targets, as well as simultaneous lineups that included both target-present atid target-absent arrays. This study also addressed the efficacy of the contact hypothesis as it applies to these populations. A significant CRE was discovered. Furthermore. Ixith Caaca.sian and First Nations participants were more likeiy to ch(K)se from the lineup when attempting to recognise First Nations faces than when attempting to recognise Caucasian faces. Contact with the other race had no effect on recognition accuracy of that race. Potential implications and directions for future research are discussed.
