Eyewitnes Identification

The Eyewitness Identification Research Laboratory in the Psychology Department at the University of Texas at El Paso focuses on research in eyewitness memory, eyewitness identification, expert testimony and many aspects of face recognition. Established at UTEP in 1992, the Laboratory is an outgrowth of the program of research into face recognition and eyewitness identification begun by Professor Roy S. Malpass in the late 1960s. Professor Christian A. Meissner joined the UTEP faculty and the Eyewitness Lab in 2005, and established the Investigative Interviewing Research Laboratory. The site contains useful information for researchers, law enforcement officers and attorneys in the criminal justice system. The Laboratory provides educational and expert witness services for law enforcement and the courts.

The site is worth browsing as there is access to stimulus materials or sample videos from experiments that the Laboratory has conducted in eyewitness identification.
