My expertise is in forensic developmental psychology; my research combines developmental, forensic, and cognitive psychology to investigate issues in children's memory development and eyewitness memory. I am particularly interested in studying interviewing techniques to facilitate young children's autobiographical recall developmental changes in face recognition and lineup performance. My recent work includes adults' eyewitness abilities.
