I am a cognitive psychologist who studies human memory. I am particularly interested in answering the following questions:
- How do the emotions we experience during events affect how we remember them later?
- What factors impact the accuracy with which witnesses remember crimes?
- What are the characteristics of older adults who are most at risk for memory errors?
