Determine if the statement is true or false.
Alja [10]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

Simultaneous procedure: the members of the lineup (usually 6 people – 1 suspect and 5 fillers)

sequential procedure: the members of the lineup are presented one at a time for individual recognition decisions.

According to the absolute-relative judgment theory (Wells, 1984), sequential lineups result in better witness discrimination because the format encourages people to make a strict judgment against their own memory
