Thank you for taking part in our memory survey. Your responses, along with those of others who participated, will tell us more about how memory works, and may possibly be applied to real-world situations such as when a witness tries to identify a criminal.
The main purpose of the survey is to learn more about several factors that might influence how well people can recognize a stranger they have seen just briefly. Different participants saw the target person from different points of view. For example, some people saw the target from the front, while others only saw the target from the side, in profile. Also, some people saw the target at eye-level, while others saw the target from above or below. By looking at your responses to the photos, we will learn how such changes in viewing conditions affect recognition accuracy. We will also find out if certain participant characteristics, such as age, are related to recognition accuracy.
Thanks again for your help! This kind of research would not be possible without the generosity of participants like yourself.
If you have any questions or comments about the study, please contact the study supervisor, Dr. Burt Thompson, at [email protected] or (716) 286-8521.
