MARAS, Auteur ; Wing CHUI, Auteur ; Carmen MARTI-SANCHEZ, Auteur ; Lucy A HENRY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1509-1519 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Credibility  Criminal justice  Eyewitness memory  Jury Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Research suggests that autistic children can provide accurate and forensically useful eyewitness evidence. However, members of a jury also rely on non-verbal behaviours when judging the credibility of a witness, and this could determine the verdict of a case. We presented mock jurors with videos (from an experimental study) of one of two child witnesses on the autism spectrum being interviewed about a mock minor crime. Results demonstrated that providing jurors with generic information about autism and/or informing them of the child's diagnostic label differentially affected credibility ratings, but not for both children. Implications for how to present information about child witnesses with autism to a jury-highlighting the need for approaches tailored to individual children-are discussed.
