- This study examined the reliability of earwitnesses using an ecologically realistic experimental set-up. A total of 282 participants, distributed over three age-groups (7–9 vs. 11–13 year olds vs. adults), were exposed to an unfamiliar voice for 40 seconds. After a two week delay, they were presented with a 7-voice lineup. Half of the participants were exposed to a target-present lineup (TP), and the other half to a target-absent lineup (TA). For both types of lineups the participants performed poorly. In the TP-condition only the 11–13-year olds (with 27% correct identifications) performed above chance level. Furthermore, in the TA-condition all age-groups showed a high willingness to make an identification (overall mean=53%). For both groups of children, voice identification co-varied significantly with speaking rate and pitch level, as did pitch variation for the youngest children. Neither factor correlated significantly with the adults’ identifications.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The present study aimed to gain insight into the effect of mobile phone quality on voice identification using an ecologically realistic design. A total of 165 participants were exposed to an unfamiliar voice, either directly recorded or mobile phone recorded, for 40 seconds. After a two week delay, they were asked to identify the target-voice in a 7 voice target-present line-up. We used a between- subjects design, where half of the subjects were exposed to a directly recorded line-up, and the other half to a mobile phone recorded line-up. Data analysis did not show any significant effect of presentation format or line-up format. These results suggest that the detrimental effect on voice recognition suggested by the poorer sound quality of mobile phone recordings is minimal. They also indicate that there is no benefit from conducting a mobile phone recorded line-up, if the voice is originally heard over a mobile phone. More research is needed, however, before definitive conclusions may be drawn. The overall accuracy for correct identifications was 12.7% which is expected by chance. Further, one particular foil attracted 54% of all false identifications. Future research should focus on explaining why earwitnesses perform so poorly and develop methods to improve identification accuracy.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In some criminal cases the victim’s or witness’s memory of the perpetrator’s voice may be an important clue and therefore have a vital role in both the investigative phase and in court. Though, research has shown that witnesses are not particularly good at recognizing an unfamiliar voice heard under realistic circumstances. Another important aspect of an earwitness testimony is the memory of the content of what the perpetrator said. The present study aimed to try to enhance the participants’ memory in a naturalistic way by interviewing them shortly after the witnessing situation. Three different types of interviews were compared; an evaluation of a Check-List that the Swedish Security Service has developed for questioning people that has only heard the perpetrator speak; a Cognitive Interview, and a Control Interview (no questions about the voice). Both 11-13-year-olds (119) and adults (93) were exposed to an unfamiliar voice for 40 seconds and thereafter assigned randomly to one of the interviews. Two weeks later they were confronted with a seven voice line-up. No significant difference for correct identifications was found between the three interview conditions. The adults recalled significantly more correct information, compared to the children. Further, the adults in the Cognitive Interview condition recalled significantly more correct information, compared to the adults in the other two conditions. The results suggest that the Cognitive Interview has no positive effect on voice identification, but for adults helps to elicit more correct information about what was said in a criminal conversation.

- The major aim was to examine the effect of the perpetrator’s tone of voice and time delay on voice recognition. In addition, the effect of two types of voice description interviews intended to strengthen voice encoding was tested. Both 11- to 13-year-olds (n = 160) and adults (n = 148) heard an unfamiliar voice for 40 s. The perpetrator either spoke in a normal tone at encoding and in the lineup (congruent), or in an angry tone at encoding and a normal tone in the lineup (incongruent). Witnesses were then interviewed about the voice with global questions or by rating voice characteristics. Half of the witnesses were presented with a lineup shortly after the interview (immediate) and the others after 2 weeks (delayed). Children tested immediately made significantly more correct identifications. This was not the case for adults. (In)congruency between tone of voice and interview type did not significantly affect voice recognition.Witnesses in the congruent–immediate condition performed the best. However, only 25% of the children and 19% of the adults made correct identifications. Poor identification accuracy and the fact that the majority of witnesses believed they would recognise the voice later are reasons for treating voice identification evidence with great caution.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of the study was to find ways to enhance earwitnesses’ memory for voices and content. Another aim was to evaluate an interview protocol used by the Swedish Security Service. Three different types of interviews were compared; the Cognitive Interview, the Swedish Security Service checklist, and a baseline interview. Both 11–13- year-olds (n ¼ 119) and adults (n ¼ 93) were exposed to an unfamiliar voice for 40 seconds and thereafter interviewed. Two weeks later, they were confronted with a seven voice line-up. The overall accuracy for correct identifications was 19.8%. No significant difference was found between the interview conditions. As for content, the results suggest that for adults, the Cognitive Interview may be beneficial for recall of a brief conversation. The checklist used by the Swedish Security Service did not have a positive effect on voice recognition, content recall or for descriptions of voices.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Earwitness performance has been studied before but not nearly to the extent that eyewitness performance has. This is particularly true for child witnesses. To gain a better understanding of earwitness performance we have designed a study in which children aged 7-8 and 11-12 and adults will serve as informants. A total of 240 participants, will be equally distributed between the three age groups, and exposed to an unfamiliar voice (the planning of a crime). After two weeks, the witnesses will be asked to identify the target-voice in a line-up (7 voices). Half of the witnesses will be exposed to a target-present line-up (TP), and the other half to a target-absent line-up (TA). We expect the number of false identifications to be higher for children, especially in the TA-line up. We will also analyze the relation between accuracy and confidence, and to what extent memory for content can predict identification accuracy

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Many situations where earwitness testimony would be of interest involve voices heard over a mobile phone – threats, black mail, obscene calls, fraud. Mobile phone sound quality is rather poor due to technical compromises in order to reduce transmission bandwidth. This introduces a noticeable degradation of sound quality. It is reasonable to assume that the resulting information loss will reduce voice recognition reliability. To gain better understanding of the effect of sound quality degradation on earwitness reliability, we have designed a study in which a total of 160 adults will serve as informants. The participants will be exposed to an unfamiliar voice talking about the planning of a crime. Half of the participants will hear a directly recorded voice and the other half a voice that has been recorded via a mobile phone. After two weeks, the witnesses will be asked to identify the target-voice in a 7-voice line-up. It has been suggested that if the voice is originally heard over a phone, the line-up should be performed using telephone recorded voices. There is, however, little scientific evidence to support this suggestion. In order to provide more data on the possible effect of line-up sound quality half of the participants will be tested using a telephone quality line-up and the other half will hear directly recorded voices. This way we will be able to study both the effect of sound quality of the originally heard voice on memory and recall and the effect of sound quality on recognition in a line-up.

Sustaining the Usefulness of eHealth Research Software : Lessons Learned in Action Design Research
- 2019
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Research software is vital to advancement in the sciences, engineering, humanities, and all other fields. Scientific research is dependent on the quality of and accessibility to research software. Research software is often developed hastily to solve one-off problems, leading to flimsy code that is not sustainable or usable beyond the lifetime of a given research project and is difficult for researchers, outside of the original context, to use, reuse or extend. It is critical to address the many challenges related to the development, deployment, and maintenance of research software. Therefore, there is a growing concern in the scientific community regarding designing sustainable research software. The academic research context refers to the environment or community concerned with scientific research, sponsored by research grants and public funding. Despite the increasing dependence on research software, software development practices in academia lag far behind those in the commercial sector.Health care relies on a very complex information technology architecture with many different IT components and also has a highly complex governance structure alongside the very rapid technology development. Additionally, there are ever-increasing demands and needs from health care users for more flexibility, more functionality and making the care transparent and patient-centred. Taken together, this poses significant challenges for eHealth and Information Systems researchers, as each artefact, depending on the context, has different quality characteristics to operationalise the requirements under consideration.The research objective is to explore what Information Systems researchers and practitioners need to be aware of for sustaining the usefulness of eHealth research software, in the academic research context. This longitudinal action design research (ADR) project, with its three cases, was conducted in an eHealth research project over a period of six years. Contributions from this research include the identification of quality characteristics and their enactment in the actual organisational settings, as well as empirically grounded design principles and a typology for sustaining the usefulness of eHealth research software, based on a formalisation of learning in the three ADR cases. This dissertation also contributes to the method space with the introduction of the augmented action design research (AADR) method, an extension of ADR, on how to conduct multiple ADR projects that build towards an overarching knowledge aim.Practice contributions are the design and development of internet-based eHealth research software to offer patients psychological treatment and support for issues resulting from physical illnesses, while also providing a chance for researchers to study the effectiveness of the aid provided. The dissertation also contributed in a broader sense to the research software development practice, as the findings extend to research areas in which research software is needed to read and interpret research data, and where software must continue to function so that it allows continued access and use of research data.
