For the last several years, my research interests have focused on two areas: memory and psychology and law.\u00a0 My psychology and law work centers around the effects of evidence on jurors\u2019 decisions (e.g., how do grisly images of death affect jurors\u2019 likelihood of convicting a defendant).\u00a0 My memory research focuses on why we tend to remember things that are unusual.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Besides these two research areas, I have recently started getting involved in research on persuasion and environmentally-sustainable behavior (bicycling). Students can get involved in my research at various levels, from entry-level work (data entry, photocopying, reading research articles, running subjects) to more advanced-level work such as developing experimental materials, analyzing data, developing research ideas and presenting research results at psychology conferences. \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
