My main research focuses on the development of memory. That is, my research concentrates on strict fundamental questions related to memory (e.g., which mechanisms cause false memory development?), yet also on practical situations like for example memory in court (e.g., how should witnesses/suspects be interrogated?).  I am especially interested in the following areas:

1. Developmental differences in memory

2. False memory development

3. Trauma and memory

4. Interrogation of children and adults

5. The evolution of memory

Furthermore, my research interest relates to several psychology and law related topics such as choice blindness and false confessions.
