Abstract: | The authors investigated the effects of alcohol on small groups of eye-witnesses who watched a staged theft, by immediate and delayed interviews. The alcohol proved to have no influence on the witnesses' ability to recognize the thief's picture, but it increased the rate of false identifications. |
