My research activities involve multiple lines of inquiry, all of which generated new publications during 2014. These three lines are: 1) children & the law (suggestibility, competence to testify, deception, coerced confessions), 2) women and science (sex discrimination in hiring, mentoring, stereotypes), and 3) intellectual development (cross-cultural influences, schooling, intelligence, cognitive sex differences, and achievement gaps). In my women-in-science research with Wendy Williams, we published five new experiments in our PNAS article and one new experiment in Fronteirs in Psychology. In addition, I conducted multiple experiments on children's testimonial competence (with my lab group). And I published several articles/law reviews with R.D. Friedman based on (but going beyond) our amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court.
