New paper out by @SarahLDeck & @patersonhelen. Repeated-event participants reported more details that were common among events, compared to details that varied, suggesting these witnesses may struggle to particularise specific incidents (e.g., DV). onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

and cannot forget co-author @SarahAWalker !

Another lab publication to ring in the New Year, by the fabulous @natalidilevski. In this article, the current body of literature of adult memory for repeated events is reviewed. Great synthesis of research findings! @celinevangolde @patersonhelen tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Police bodycam footage is considered the holy grail of evidence. A new study led by @patersonhelen calls this into question. bit.ly/37mvXMW

Super fantastic new article out in @PLOSONE by our honorary lab member, @delene_adams! How does viewing body-camera affect memory for events? Find out here: journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… Great work Delene and @patersonhelen !

New research published in @JARMACnews shows that instructing suspects to give detailed statements improves lie detection accuracy. Explained well in this @ConversationUK piece @Cody_N_Porter @ryan_fitz9erald @AdamCharlesHarv theconversation.com/spotting-liars…
