Ryan is a Doctoral student in the Experimental and Applied Psychology
program. His research investigates cognitive processes that occur in
forensic contexts. He is particularly interested in factors that
influence face recognition. Factors such as change blindness and
intentional forgetting were studied in previous investigations. He is
currently examining the role of lineup composition on eyewitness
identification outcomes. Ryan is funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (CGS D).

Natalie is a second year MA student in Experimental and Applied Psychology, having completed her BA (Hons) at Carleton University. Her research interests focus primarily on the eyewitness identification accuracy and the forensic interviewing of children. Her current research endeavours include improving children’s eyewitness accuracy using practice lineups, as well as projects exploring the impact of suspect-to-foil similarity on children and young adolescents’ identification accuracy. She is also a recipient of the Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship Master’s Scholarship.Therrien, N.M., Fitzgerald, R.J., & Price, H.L.

Connie is completing the last year of her bachelor’s degree in the Department of Psychology’s Honours program under the supervisor of Drs.
Heather Price and Katherine Arbuthnott. Her honours project, which is examining the Enhanced Cognitive Interview, learning distribution, and
motivation, will commence in the fall. Following convocation, Connie is hoping to begin graduate school.
