A model competition approach to determining factors related to interrogation decisions
Workshop, Stanford University, 2025
In this workshop I considered 28 competing hypotheses stemming from interrogation literature. These hypotheses made predictions about mock interrogators’ judgments and decisions based on several features about a suspect. I presented summary information about these competing models, including model parsimony and different specifications of models. After I revealed the winning model, workshop participants discussed implications for the field.
The probability of a guilty verdict: Using mathematical order constraints with dichotomous data
Workshop, Iowa State University, 2023
In this workshop I introduced the analysis framework termed “order-constrained inference” using examples from psychology and law. I described how to translate verbal hypotheses to mathematical order constraints, provided an example of this method using a secondary analysis, and demonstrated how to analyze these mathematical models using open-source software.
PSY 516: Quantitative Analysis II
Graduate course, Arizona State University, 2020
I was a teaching assistant for the required graduate course Quantitative Analysis II for one semester. These responsibilities included grading homework and exams, answering students questions, and transitioning the classroom to online during the Covid-19 pandemic. I also assisted students with software and analyses during the lab portions of the class.
The Truth Behind the Tool: Psychological Assessment Evidence in Court
Workshop, National Institute for Trial Advocacy, 2019
This was a Continuing Legal Education (CLE) course that was attended by roughly 200 attorneys. In this course, I described the features of a psychological assessment tool that are crucial in evaluating its reliability, validity, error rate, and general acceptance in the field. These are all factors that attorneys and judges should take into account when making admissibility-related decisions for evidence in court.
