We work at the intersection of psychology, criminal justice, and the law \u2014 applying principles of cognitive and social psychology to real-world problems with consequential outcomes for people\u2019s everyday lives. The lab incorporates a range of methodological approaches (e.g., experimental designs, survey research, public record requests). We&#8217;re committed to building knowledge that is both scientifically rigorous and practically useful. Our current areas of focus include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>Memory and technology: <\/strong>How do emerging technologies like facial recognition software affect memory and decision-making in legal contexts?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>Eyewitness identifications: <\/strong>How can we obtain reliable information from eyewitnesses, and what distinguishes accurate accounts from inaccurate ones?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>Research methodology: <\/strong>How can social scientists design, conduct, and report their work to maximize rigor and transparency?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Interested in Joining the Lab?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The LAMP Lab is a collaborative, interdisciplinary research environment.
