At 20m in low light eyewitness ID accuracy is at chance-level: Participants saw live targets, followed by forced-choice target present (TP) lineups. At short distances, TP identification accuracy is unreliable after seeing a perpetrator in poor lighting: doi.org/10.1080/233119…

See our new publ. “The Distance Threshold of Reliable Eyewitness Identification". Based on 1588 participants (ages 6-77) in a live-target paradigm between 5-110m, we provide evidence for a 100m perceptual distance threshold for correct identifications: dx.doi.org/10.1037/lhb000…
