πŸ“£ new paper out in #JARMAC! We found that witnesses who experienced inattentional blindness for a crime were only less accurate and confident when asked cued recall questions. When asked a free recall question, they were just as acc and conf as noticers. psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

We asked our incoming President @anneliesvrede.bsky.social what she loves about SARMAC: "For me, the best thing about SARMAC has always been how welcoming senior academics are towards more junior researchers, creating that feeling of an extended academic family. I hope to continue that spirit."

Can eyewitnesses help each other remember? Together with @anneliesvrede.bsky.social, I conducted a field study revealing that collaborative #witness interviews can uncover new and highly relevant details. Proud to see this work published after 5 years of dedication! #LegalPsy doi.org/10.1108/JCP-...

When I was found guilty of murder & sentenced to 26 years, I lost all hope that the truth of my innocence would ever matter. The prison put me on suicide watch. It was shortly thereafter that I received a curious letter from a psychology professor. /🧡

Thanks for sharing! These are exactly the kind of questions we have been focusing on in our @amslablegpsy.bsky.social ERC project on eyewitness testimony in cross-cultural settings allp.nl/cases/eyewit...

Last month we gave our first training to experienced investigators on cross-cultural interviewing! Very proud of our ALLP research team and looking forward to the next training sessions! allp.nl/cross-cultur...

Can witnesses help each other remember? Our ALLP field study showed that interviewing real #witnesses collaboratively resulted in new and highly relevant details www.emerald.com/insight/cont...
