This tests one verbal-overshadowing paradigm (lineup ID after a robbery video), not every memory-verbalization design. RRSRCH has no psychology topic, so this is filed under economics with the rest of the series.","topics":["economics"],"evidence":[{"end":1626,"start":1460,"source_id":"URL:74df83429f32c0a30544dda0","doc_sha256":"74f97239c4e5d3691a6fc152be07b86601f10a22e35bb81ce7339836b757d508","excerpt":"participants\nwho
