This thesis discusses cognitive processes theories with special emphasis on those affecting recognition and identification of human faces, introduces the issue of eyewitness testimony and the issue of methods and techniques of criminal identification proven in forensic science and actually in use in police work. The literature and previous empirical studies dealing with the issue of line-up and show-up reliability and accuracy are reviewed afterwards. The effect of selected variables, i.e. retention interval and similarity of suspect clothing, within the show-up and line-up procedures is well mentioned. Experiments in this thesis examine these interrelated goals: determining the effect of two variables on show up accuracy as well as the suggestivity of show up method and exploring carryover effect from show up to line up identification procedure. Keywords: cognitive processes, facial recognition, individual identification, eyewitness testimony
