Description: Eyewitnesses to a simulated crime attempted to identify the perpetrator from a six person lineup consisting of array sizes of one (sequential array), two (hybrid array), three (hybrid array), and six pictures (simultaneous array). The perpetrator was present in half of the lineups. The hybrid lineup procedure was tested against the sequential and simultaneous lineup procedures, comparing proportion of suspect identifications, lineup rejections, and foil identifications. The results indicate that hybrid array sizes were as good as sequential and better than simultaneous at correct rejections. The simultaneous procedure was superior in correct identifications, although in most cases the differences were not significant.
