Preferred term

exposure time and eyewitness memory  

Definition(s)

  • When assessing the potential of an eyewitness, among the first things an investigator has to decide is whether or not the witness had an opportunity to observe what took place for a sufficient time. The decision is likely to be influenced by a witness's assessment of the length and quality of exposure to a perpetrator's face.
