Research Interest
Most of my research focuses on the reliability of eyewitness identification procedures. I am currently investigating ways in which eyewitness decision-making might be improved and also how structural properties of identification procedures can neutralize eyewitness decision errors. In related research, I am examining the strengths and weaknesses of multiple measures of eyewitness identification performance.
