Abstract. This study was conducted to determine if explaining criminal behavior influences later identification. Schooler and Engstler-Schooler’s (1990) Experiment 5 was replicated with the additional condition of describing why the criminal engaged in the behavior. No differences were found between those who described facial features and those that described motivation.
