RESEARCH INTERESTS Memory for Faces & Eyewitness Identification: the study of social and cognitive psychological factors that influence memory for human faces, including phenomena such as the cross-race effect, verbal overshadowing, misinformation, perceptual distinctiveness, lineup identification procedures, and the assessment of lineup fairness. Interrogations & Confessions: the study of social and cognitive psychological factors that may lead to a confession (and particularly with regard to false confessions), including the diagnostic value of various interrogation methods, the decision-making processes associated with a suspect s decision to confess, and the role of investigative biases in the use of coercive interrogation tactics. Detection of Deception: the study of human lie detection, including factors that influence its reliability and validity in the context of police investigations and the presence of truth or lie biases that certain individuals may display in their detection performance.
