	Abstract = {Challenges to effective speaker identification by victims \& witnesses are explored. A call by the International Assoc for Forensic Phonetics to develop guidelines has prompted increased research in the area of voice lineup procedure. Use of relevant visual lineup principles \& cooperation between psychologists \& phoneticians is recommended. A need to examine assumptions about auditory memory is emphasized. Several practices are critically evaluated: repeated trials, blank trials, familiar vs unfamiliar voices, the use of actors, verbatim text or transcripts, \& the notions of propitious heterogeneity \& ecphoric similiarty. Extensive study \& attention to research design are called for; the dearth of estimator-variable investigations is noted. Caution in use of earwitness evidence is stressed.}}
