Repetition and Semantic Priming Effects of Facial Composite Research
05 March 2024
Facial composites created using a computerised system are often used within police procedures to help identify perpetrators of crime. The study consists of viewing 10 facial composites and attempting to identify them by name. This research is using EastEnders characters to test the effectiveness of the technology, to improve the system and therefore lead to identification of offenders in the real world. Therefore, you must be familiar with EastEnders to take part in this study.
