Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Robert F Lockamyeir"
- Robert F Lockamyeir's research predominantly focuses on the cognitive processes involved in eyewitness identification, particularly examining the implications of the diagnostic feature-detection theory (DFT) related to the effectiveness of showups and lineups.
- In his 2021 article, Lockamyeir explored the impact of facial information on eyewitness identification, aiming to test DFT predictions by manipulating the presence of diagnostic facial features to enhance understanding of suspect guilt.
- His earlier work in 2019 emphasized the principle of propitious heterogeneity in lineup fairness, asserting that eyewitness accuracy can decline when fillers resemble the suspect too closely, which aligns with the diagnostic feature-detection hypothesis regarding feature similarity in distinguishing suspects.
