Zooming is becoming the 'new normal'!

26/6/2020

0 Comments

 
Confidence with zoom is soaring in the Demystifying discussion group. Zooming is becoming the “new normal”. Sessions now run over two 40-minute blocks with a short break for a cuppa in between. It was great to see Heather and Rae sharing. This is a great way to socialize C19 style, as also for non-techs to join discussions.
 
Varied topics under the banner of Forensic Psychology have been fabulous “starters” for discussion. Topics include:
  • Eyewitness testimony – variously described as flawed and reliable.
  • Reconstructive memory theory and factors impacting on fluid memory.
  • When is memory most efficient?
  • Memory of extremely stressful events can be accurately recalled months later.
  • Forensic interviews – their structure and laws giving the right to interview.
  • Mistaken identification.
  • How to spot a lie.
  • Wrongful convictions. The top eight factors include professional misconduct, fraudulent science, bad professional behavior and lying witnesses.
