Aging & Memory
Our lab has been testing models of age-related memory performance in the criminal justice context, such as the maturation hypothesis, which proposes that discrimination accuracy improves with development. We also have been studying age-related decline in memory performance, and testing models of meta memory performance, such as during police lineups in which the police ask witnesses to evaluate their confidence that their memory is accurate.
