Research Interests ::

      My primary research interest is in human memory.  Current research focuses on eyewitness memory, suggestibility, individual differences in source monitoring (the processes by which we identify the origins of our mental experience), interpersonal reality monitoring (the processes by which we judge the veracity of other people's memory), false memory, and the effects of trauma on memory.  These studies have direct relevance to many applied issues in the legal and the clinical settings, such as assessment of eyewitness accuracy, investigation of child abuse, jury decision making, and memory deficits associated with various psychological disorders.
