- Christianson and Hubinette (1993) found that in real bank robberies, those threatened (higher stress) were more accurate in EWT
- Yerkes-Dodson Law: supports Deffenbacher, explains there is an optimum recall for accuracy of EWT and the amount of anxiety.

- Johnson and Scott (1976) - in violent crimes people focus almost solely on the weapon
