In conjunction with my graduate student Anne Arici, we have developed quantitative models that account for different aspects of face recognition data. Confidence and Accuracy in Eyewitness Testimony Jurors often believe, and are often explicitly told by judges, that confident eyewitnesses are more accurate than unconfident eyewitnesses. However, a very small to nil correlation between an eyewitness' confidence and accuracy is often reported in the literature. Motivated by this applied area, I am conducting a series of experiments looking at the basic calibration issues underlying memory performance and a subject's ability to monitor and report their confidence in the accuracy of their memory reports. As a result, this topic area is intrinsically tied to the previous area.
Compensation is unnecessary for the perception of faces in slanted pictures.
