Interrogation tactics have long been recognized for their potential to lead innocent and guilty suspects to confess during an interrogation. But can they also influence plea decisions made by defendants? Fessigner et al.'s study addresses just that! buff.ly/nX5gSTV @ap-ls.org @aplssc.bsky.social

So grateful to have gotten to walk the stage for my Master's degree in Cognition and Neural Science this week after defending this past fall!

I appreciate the great audience I had for my talk today at #apls2026! Absolutely loved all of our eyewitness sessions and posters this year - keep up the great work, y'all! Hope to see everyone in Louisville next year.

I'm honored that I was able to start my #apls2026 with the Embracing Leadership workshop! I took a lot away about how to contribute to AP-LS and how to lead inclusively in all the academic spaces I navigate. Then I, of course, had to do a little bit of exploring!

It's time for #apls2026! I'll be giving a talk this Saturday at the 1:30 paper session happening in Tuscany 9. I'll be talking about memory strategies witnesses may be able to use to reject misinformation they read or hear in interview questions!

Looking for books on how to study more effectively (so you actually remember the information) or how to tweak your teaching so students remember what you've taught? Lots of great resources from cognitive scientists below and in replies to the original post. Add on with your other favs.

Long time no see! Some updates on my second year at the U - this semester, I proposed my thesis, became a cycling academic, and was recognized by the U for my NSF GRFP award. Not too bad! Please keep an eye out on my page for a SARMAC Student Caucus event coming up soon. I am really excited for it!

Hi 🟦☁️ folks, I'm a professor at the University of Utah where I research & teach how attention & memory interact with the legal system. Topic areas include eyewitness memory & how people search for missing & wanted persons. I'll be reviewing PhD applications this fall! #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky
