Description

In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Alison Jane sits down with Dr. Danielle Sneyd, UW-Green Bay's new Assistant Teaching Professor for Psychology and an expert in legal psychology. With a focus on the fallibility of eyewitness memory, Dr. Sneyd sheds light on how memory’s natural vulnerabilities—like flaws in encoding, storage, and recall intersect with biases and suggestive tactics, influencing courtroom outcomes and sometimes even leading to wrongful convictions. Tune in as Dr. Sneyd unpacks the psychological science behind eyewitness errors and explores what these findings mean for the justice system.
