In everyday life, we often need to attentively track moving objects. A previous study has claimed that this tracking occurs independently in the left and right visual hemifields (Alvarez & Cavanagh, 2005, Psychological Science,16, 637-647). Specifically, it was shown observers were much more accurate at objects spread over both as opposed when all confined a single hemifield. study, not required remember identities of Conversely, real there is seldom any benefit an object unless you can also...

Research indicates that truthful statements typically contain more details than fabricated statements, and truth tellers are no consistent liars over multiple interviews. In this experiment, we examine the impact of (i) interviewers (ii) reverse order recall on liars’ tellers’ consistency amount reported detail repeated attempts.

Investigative interviews are complex, dyadic, social interactions typically studied by evaluating interviewers' questioning strategies. In field settings, interviewers naturally vary in their interviewing practice. Thus, it is important to conduct research reflective of idiosyncrasies witnesses, interviewers, and the resulting unique pairings. This study explored sources variation an interview using a 'round-robin' design. Each session involved five witnesses observing separate events....
Much research on moral judgment is centered dilemmas in which deontological perspectives (i.e., emphasizing rules, individual rights and duties) are conflict with utilitarian judgements following the greater good defined through consequences). A central finding of this field Greene et al. showed that psychological situational factors (e.g., intent agent, or physical contact between agent victim) play an important role people’s use versus considerations when making decisions. As their study...
Summary The self‐administered interview (SAI) is a written eyewitness recall tool that elicits more information from cooperative witnesses than free (WFR) formats. To date, SAI research has examined the accounts of people providing honest reports. In current experiment, truthful and fabricating participants ( N = 128) either completed WFR or after witnessing crime (initial account). After 1‐week delay, were interviewed verbally (subsequent interview). Truth tellers reported significantly...

However, in field settings, interviewers known vary their presentation of good interviewing practice. Thus, it is important conduct research reflective complex idiosyncrasies witnesses, and unique pairings both. This study explores such sources variation an making use a 'round-robin' design. Such methodology allows the statistical...
