Psychology, Crime & Law promotes the study and application psychological approaches to crime, and civil law, and the influence of law on behavior. Dr. Neuschatz is an expert in memory, eyewitness memory and eyewitness identification. He has extensive experience both as a researcher and as an expert witness on eyewitness identification in criminal trials. His research interests include memory for complex events, phenomenology of memory, eyewitness memory, and false memories. The Neuschatz Memory and Cognition Laboratory at UAH focuses primarily on three areas of research: eyewitness memory, eyewitness identification, and jury decision-making. Currently the lab has several projects in progress in each of these areas. The lab is involved in a series of experiments to investigate the effects of different variables that can affect participants' eyewitness accuracy and confidence in their memories, as well as potential juror belief in the eyewitness testimony. In addition, Neuschatz and his students are studying how information given to the eyewitnesses after they have made an identification can affect their subsequent testimony. Neuschatz is the author of numerous publications including "The Mitigating Effects of Suspicion on Post-Identification Feedback and on Retrospective Eyewitness Memory," Law and Human Behavior, and "The Effects of Accomplice Witnesses and Jailhouse Informants on Jury Decision Making," Law and Human Behavior.
