Specifically, my research works toward (1) developing a theoretical model of the cognitive, social, and language factors that moderate and mediate individual&#8217;s comprehension of complex information (i.e., legal rights), and (2) developing a theoretical model of the cognitive and social factors that promote information provision in investigative interviews. Even though I&#8217;d like to pretend that I have some interesting hobbies, when I am not conducting research I am busy chasing around and entertaining three little rascals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am always looking for motivated students to join my research lab. If you are interested, please contact me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"sample-publications\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sample Publications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are some of my representative publications.
