Eyewitnesses are often asked to describe the appearance of an offender’s face, normally as part of a cognitive interview (CI), and then to construct a facial composite of it by selecting hair, eyes, nose, etc. Recent research indicates that facial c...

Catching even more offenders with EvoFIT facial composites (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Frowd, C. D., Pitchford, M., Petkovic, A., Skelton, F. C., Prosser, C., & Coates, B. (2012, September). Catching even more offenders with EvoFIT facial composites. Presented at 2012 Third International Conference on Emerging Security Technologies, Lisbon, Portugal

Facial composites are an investigative tool used by police to identify suspects of crime. Unfortunately, traditional methods to construct the face have rather low success rates. We have been developing a new recognition-based method called EvoFIT tha... Read More about Catching even more offenders with EvoFIT facial composites.

Acutely induced anxiety increases negative interpretations of events in a closed-circuit television monitoring task (2012)
Journal Article
Cooper, R., Howard, C. J., Attwood, A. S., Stirland, R., Rostant, V., Renton, L., Goodwin, C., & Munafò, M. R. (2013). Acutely induced anxiety increases negative interpretations of events in a closed-circuit television monitoring task. Cognition and Emotion, 27(2), 273-282. https://doi.org/10.1080/02699931.2012.704352

In two experiments we measured the effects of 7.5% CO₂ inhalation on the interpretation of video footage recorded on closed circuit television (CCTV). As predicted, inhalation of 7.5% CO₂ was associated with increases in physiological and subjective...

Children’s gaze behaviour at real-world and simulated road crossings (2012)
Thesis
Egan, C. D. Children’s gaze behaviour at real-world and simulated road crossings. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/5424

Children and older adults are overrepresented in pedestrian accidents (Department for Transport, 2010a, 2010b). Gaze behaviour is cited as a contributing factor in the majority of such accidents (Department for Transport, 2010a, 2010b); however, rema...

Recovering faces from memory: The distracting influence of external facial features. (2012)
Journal Article
Frowd, C. D., Skelton, F. C., Atherton, C., Pitchford, M., Hepton, G., Holden, L., McIntyre, A. H., & Hancock, P. J. B. (2012). Recovering faces from memory: The distracting influence of external facial features. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, 18(2), 224-238. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0027393

Recognition memory for unfamiliar faces is facilitated when contextual cues (e.g. head pose, background environment, hair and clothing) are consistent between study and test. By contrast, inconsistencies in external features, especially hair, promot... Read More about Recovering faces from memory: The distracting influence of external facial features..
