Personal profile
Research Interests
I study human memory, cognition, and social influence, with a particular interest in applications of these topics to issues in legal and educational psychology. My research focuses on themes such as:
- people's ability to remember past events and experiences, and information they have learned
- factors that can shape or distort what we remember/believe
- how people engage with, and respond to, feedback about their performance and memories
- how we can help people to remember more effectively
