| Sumario: | In the context of the use of video-mediated communication (VMC) for conducting remote interviews, either with witnesses or victims of a crime, this research examine whether there is a correlation between the witness' visual field of the artist/interviewer's space of work, and the level of resemblance of the resultant composite image with respect to the target. Firstly, 24 subjects located in Santiago de Chile took part in a cognitive interview via VMC with a forensic artist located in Dundee (UK), after having seen a photograph one of the characters from a famous British TV series the previous day. Participants were randomly separated in two groups, whether far from the camera with full perception of the background and upper limb of the interviewer, or just a white wall. Secondly, two independent groups of participants rated the likeness of the composites with regard to the original photos, through a likeness and naming procedures. The data suggest that there is no direct correlation between the witness' visual field of the artist/interviewer's space of work, and the level of resemblance of the resultant composite image with respect to the target. As a consequence, the illusion of co-presence appears not to be imperative for the creation of rapport. |
