Dim Sum Talks | Can You Trust Your Own Memory?

Join Jennifer, an experienced Forensics lecturer, for this fascinating lecture about memory and forensics.

Ever thought about whether someone can change or implant memories in you without your awareness? Jennifer will show you how research proves this is much easier than you think!

False Memories - how are they created? How common are they? Can we tell them from real memories? You will discuss the research and some fascinating case studies.

Learn about Interviewing & Interrogation Techniques used in the UK and US. Learn about the infamous 'Reid Technique' and watch it being used in the Brandon Dassey interview (real interview footage from the Making a Murder documentary).

Explore how to read Body Language and Facial Expressions. We all like to think that we would never confess to a crime we didn't commit. Hear from people who have done just that, and it may change your mind... the problem of False Confessions.

Gathering the Evidence: Crime Scene Investigation and Forensic Photography - why it is so important to corroborate/refute eye witness testimony.

Plus real-life case studies and tests for your own memory!
