Ref for the documentary we watched

The documentary we saw in class this morning featured a researcher called Wells... Below is a reference to one of his studies on using lineups to identify criminals. If you mention it in the exam of course you can just say 'Wells, 1998'.

For anyone who missed the class, the film is on two parts on youtube, here is the first bit:

Documentary part 1

It's an interesting story but also relevant - a lot of it supports a key conclusion of Loftus & Palmer (1974) i.e. that information after an event (in this case, the face of the innocent suspect) can be integrated into our memory of the event, resulting in false memories.
