We use experimental methodologies and quantitative approaches to examine cognitive psychological processes (e.g., memory, attention, perception, and decision processes) in forensic, military, and human intelligence settings. In addition, we conduct qualitative surveys and field observations to assess practices in situ. Our research has evaluated:
- strategies and tactics that facilitate the disclosure of information in interviews and interrogations of cooperative and non-cooperative individuals
- biases and strategic approaches to assessing credibility in forensic interviews
- factors that influence eyewitness memory and lineup identification
- extra-legal biases and the influence of expert testimony on legal decision-making
- human perception and factors that influence comparative forensic science decisions
- meta-analytic reviews of various basic and applied findings in the literature
