“…In general, fast decisions are more likely to be accurate because speed is associated with automatic processes or fluency-stimuli that are quick and easy to process feel that way because they are familiar or have been encountered before (e.g., Kelley & Lindsay, 1993;Ratcliff & Starns, 2013). In line with the general recognition literature, existing lab studies show that eyewitnesses who make fast decisions during an identification procedure are more likely to be accurate than eyewitnesses who are slower (e.g., Brewer & Weber, 2008;Dunning & Perretta, 2002;Grabman et al, 2019;Sauerland & Sporer, 2009). This holds whether the crime event was live (e.g., Sporer, 1992), a video (e.g., Weber et al, 2004), or a series of photos (Dobolyi & Dodson, 2018), and whether the identification procedure was a lineup (Smith et al, 2000) or a showup (Sauerland et al, 2018).…”
