Research Interests

I generally work on research topics in applied memory, more specifically eyewitness memory. Many projects are on the go, one of which focuses on the effects of eyewitness testimony on confidence of investigators, specifically the abilities of police officers to discriminate between accurate and inaccurate witnesses. Another is an attempt to predict eyewitness’ individual differences in their proclivity to choose someone from a lineup. See my Open Science Framework profile for descriptions of all projects, relevant poster presentations, and manuscript preprints.

If you are a student interested in working on projects like these, email me to chat more about it.
