Samuel R. Sommers, Assistant Professor of Psychology and the 2007 recipient of the Lerman-Neubauer Award for Excellence in Teaching, offers an examination of the ways in which our legal system hinges on matters of human cognition and behavior. He will explore how police investigators detect deception, the accuracy of eyewitness memory, and factors that influence jury decision-making. In short, he will discuss how assumptions made in legal circles are often at odds with theory and research in the field of psychology.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When: <\/strong>April 24, 2008 | 4:30pm &#8211; 5:30pm<br \/>\n<strong>Where: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/inside.tufts.edu\/compass\/?p=b&amp;b=m151\">Cabot Auditorium<\/a>, Medford Campus<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Psychology and Law: Or What Really Goes on at Crime Scenes, Police Stations, and the Courthouse From legal novels and television serials to media coverage of each so-called \u201cTrial of the Century,\u201d Americans have an&hellip;&nbsp;<a class=\"moretag\" href=\"https:\/\/provost.tufts.edu\/celt\/inaugural-lermanneubauer-lecture\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.3 -
