Resumen

La investigación de laboratorio indica que el reconocimiento de un rostro a partir de un retrato compuesto es muy bajo. Una de las razones es que describir un rostro es una tarea complicada además de que puede interferir con la imagen mental que se tenga del mismo. En esta investigación se evaluó el efecto de repetir dos veces las entrevistas cognitivas empleadas para construir los retratos compuestos. Los resultados indicaron que no hubo diferencias en el reconocimiento de los retratos compuestos, pero sí hubo un incremento significativo en los detalles correctamente recordados del rostro de la primera a la segunda entrevista cognitiva. Se discute la posibilidad de que una sola entrevista cognitiva no sea suficiente para agotar la información recordada de un rostro además de aproximar la construcción de los retratos compuestos a los procesos de reconocimiento facial humano.
