Memory of Traumatic Experiences
The purpose of the present study is to analyze the difference between the long-term memories of victims and witnesses/observers of a traumatic event and the effect of post-traumatic symptoms on the quality of memories. The event was the 11th of March, 2004, terrorist attacks in Madrid. Results showed that the victims characterized the event with higher quality and accessibility than the witnesses, particularly flashbulb memories. These difference…
From spatial construction to mathematics
This study examined the longitudinal pathways from early spatial skills at 5 and 7 years to their mathematics reasoning abilities at 17 years in a large cohort sample ( N = 16,338) from the Millennium Cohort Study. Children were assessed at four time points: Sweep 3 ( M age = 5.29), Sweep 4 ( M age = 7.23), Sweep 5 ( M age = 11.17), and Sweep 7 ( M age = 17.18), with measures including spatial construction skills, visuospatial working memory, mat…
The relationship between number line estimation and mathematical reasoning
Number line estimation has been found to be strongly related to mathematical reasoning concurrently and longitudinally. However, the relationship between number line estimation and mathematical reasoning might differ according to children’s level of performance. This study investigates whether findings from previous studies that show number line estimation significantly predicting mathematical reasoning replicate, and whether this relationship ho…
Humane Interrogation Strategies Are Associated With Confessions, Cooperation, and Disclosure
The techniques used to interrogate individuals suspected of a crime can profoundly impact their decisions to confess, cooperate, or disclose information. Research using different methods suggests that two prevailing interrogation approaches—accusatorial and information-gathering—differentially impact interrogation outcomes. However, confession, cooperation, and information disclosure are ultimately the suspected person’s decision, yet few studies…
The non-stranger rapist-oriented interview for complainants
Non-stranger rape (NSR) cases are often not prosecuted because of the poor quality of the accounts obtained from complainants. However, a growing body of research suggests that such high attrition rates are likely to improve when the quality of these accounts is increased by skilled interviewing. To assist police interviewers in eliciting high-quality accounts, the development of a guide for the interviewing of NSR complainants has recently been …

Design/methodology/approach The paper explores and situates the WECARE team’s experiences within extant literature on cross-national and collaborative research groupings alongside a strongly practical focus. Findings The study’s findings incl…
The impact of work-related wellbeing and workplace culture and climate on intention to leave in the early childhood sector
One in three respondents reported an intention to leave the profession. • Emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment, and age predict centre directors’ intention to leave. • Pay/benefits, emotional exhaustion, and qualification level predict educators’ intention to leave. • Findings may inform interventions to improve workforce stability. • Findings are timely given current government spotlight on the ECEC workforce. High-quality early childho…
Improving the preparation of the investigative interviewing of suspects
Building and improving investigative interviewing standards is an important topic for police, citizens and finally society. This paper attempts to improve police interviewing of suspects. We further develop the concept of investigative interviewing by linking it to important insights by social movement scholars. Differences in theories reflect different approaches to the interviewing of suspects. In this article, we explore a variety of theories …
Experts’ views on improving the quality of non-stranger rape complainants’ accounts
Recent research consistently indicates that poor justice outcomes for non-stranger rape cases are caused in large part by limitations in the evidential relevance and judicial usefulness of accounts provided by complainants. As direct and other objective corroborating evidence is usually absent, the success of most police investigations and prosecutions of non-stranger rape relies heavily on complainants’ accounts. However, no study to date seems …
Heterogeneity in children at risk of math learning difficulties
This study recruited 428 Singaporean children at risk of math learning difficulties (MLD; M age = 83.9 months, SDage = 4.35 months; 41% female). Using a factor mixture model that considered both quantitative and qualitative differences in math ability, two qualitatively different groups were identified: one with generalized difficulties across different math skills and the other with more focal difficulties in arithmetic fluency. Reading, working…
Understanding perceived legitimacy of correctional officers among male juvenile offenders in China
How do German police officers of varying empathy levels react to different styles of interviewing a suspected sex offender
Interviewing Vulnerable Suspects
Gender Differences in Theory of Mind, Empathic Understanding, and Moral Reasoning in an Offending and a Matched Non-Offending Population
Previous research suggests that a lack of pro-social skills is characteristic of an offending personality. Two hundred male and female offenders and matched controls completed measures to assess: Theory of Mind, empathic understanding, and moral reasoning. Significant differences between the offenders and the control group, as well as between the male and female participants, were detected in theory of mind, empathic understanding and moral reaso…
Working memory and numeracy training for children with math learning difficulties
Culture shapes preschoolers' emotion recognition but not emotion comprehension
Contemporary approaches suggest that emotions are shaped by culture. Children growing up in different cultures experience culture-specific emotion socialization practices. As a result, children growing up in Western societies (e.g., US or UK) rely on explicit, semantic information, whereas children from East Asian cultures (e.g., China or Japan) are more sensitive towards implicit, contextual cues when confronted with others' emotions. The aim of…
Accounting for the SES-Math Achievement Gap at School Entry
Childhood socioeconomic status (SES) is strongly predictive of math achievement in early childhood and beyond. In this study, we aimed to further our understanding of the mechanisms underpinning the SES-achievement gap by examining whether two aspects of self-regulation—executive functions (EF) and behavioral self-regulation (BSR)—mediate between SES and math achievement. Using data from a longitudinal study in Singapore ( n = 1,257, 49% males), …
“That’s just impossible in my kindergarten.” Advocating for ‘glocal' early childhood curriculum frameworks
As a result of globalization, kindergarten curriculum frameworks in Asia have been strongly influenced by Western theories, pedagogies, and values. In this article, we argue that Singapore’s Nurturing Early Learners and Hong Kong’s Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide present key notions that are inconsistent with cultural values that are deeply rooted in these two societies. To overcome the challenges these inconsistencies trigger for teacher…
Contextual factors predict self-reported confession decision-making
This study examined incarcerated persons’ self-reported interrogation experiences and confession decision-making by investigating which sociodemographic, criminological, and contextual factors were associated with their decisions to deny the allegations, partially admit wrongdoing, or fully confess to the crime. We expected that respondents in this field study would report a wide \nrange of interrogation experiences. Given mixed prior findings, w…
Numerical magnitude understanding in kindergartners
Difficulties in mathematics are argued to stem from impairments of a specialized system of numerical magnitude representation. This study investigates whether different measures of numerical magnitude understanding in kindergarten uniquely predict mathematical achievement concurrently and 6 months later, and also examines the relative explanatory of each aspect of magnitude understanding. It also examines the utility of such tasks as sensitive an…
The impact of context on real-life serious crime interviews
This study examined real-life audio-taped police interviews with 56 serious crime suspects in English and Wales. It provides an analysis of how suspects responded and behaved during the interviews and considers how suspects’ responses may be affected by contextual characteristics including the presence of legal advisors. It was found that fewer suspects admitted these serious offences in comparison to previous studies, with most suspects who did …
Bilingual language experience and children's social-emotional and behavioral skills
The current study examines the relationship between bilingual children's dual language experience (i.e. language input, language output and vocabulary proficiency), and their social-emotional and behavioral skills. Data were analysed from 805 Singaporean bilingual preschoolers (ages 4; 1–5; 8 years), who are learning English and either Mandarin (n = 551), Malay (n = 105), or Tamil, (n = 149). A parent questionnaire and standardized vocabulary tes…
Understanding educator attitudes towards and perceptions of mathematics in early childhood
The first 3 years of life are identified as a period where children are primed for mathematical thinking, and a time where significant and critical development occurs. Additionally, mathematical ability in the years before children start school serves as a strong predictor of later achievement. However, many early childhood educators do not recognise the relevance of focussing on numeracy with very young children, and there remains a paucity of r…
Gross motor teaching in preschool education
Fostering the development of gross motor (GM) skills is important in itself and beneficial for the holistic development of children. While early childhood curriculum frameworks for GM teaching have been recently articulated, there is limited research on actual pedagogical practices. This study explored GM teaching practices in Singapore Kindergarten 1 classrooms (4–5 years), focusing on where (indoors vs outdoors), what (types of GM skills) and h…
Number games, magnitude representation, and basic number skills in preschoolers
The effect of 3 intervention board games (linear number, linear color, and nonlinear number) on young children's (mean age = 3.8 years) counting abilities, number naming, magnitude comprehension, accuracy in number-to-position estimation tasks, and best-fit numerical magnitude representations was examined. Pre- and posttest performance was compared following four 25-min intervention sessions. The linear number board game significantly improved ch…

Do people avoid sitting next to someone who is facially disfigured
Most psychological research on the social effects of facial appearance has compared ‘normal’ with attractive faces whereas little work has been concerned with the possible differences in reactions to disfigured and ‘normal’ faces. Yet many cranio‐facial surgeons wish to know whether their disfigured patients are reporting reality when they complain that members of the public avoid or react negatively to them. This study finds that people travelli…
The Influences of Eye-Gaze, Style of Dress, and Locality on the Amounts of Money Donated to a Charity
A number of studies have examined in the laboratory the effects of an individual's eye-gaze upon the behavior of another. In this study the effects of gaze were investigated in a real-life setting in which a collector of money for a charity either looked a possible donor in the eye when asking for money or looked at the collecting tin. Significantly more money was donated in the former condition. While neither the style of dress of the collector …
Older adults have difficulty in decoding sarcasm
Younger and older adults differ in performance on a range of social-cognitive skills, with older adults having difficulties in decoding nonverbal cues to emotion and intentions. Such skills are likely to be important when deciding whether someone is being sarcastic. In the current study we investigated in a life span sample whether there are age-related differences in the interpretation of sarcastic statements. Using both video and verbal materia…
Evaluations of Politicians' Faces
observers (who did not know them) judged to be supporters of the Conservative Party were rated as more intelligent, attractive, honest, and of higher social class than were the faces of candidates judged to be from the Labour Party. The findings were uninfluenced by the political allegiances of the observers. The second aim was to see if any of the ratings of candidates'faces would relate to the actual number of votes subsequently cast for them i…
The cognitive interview
This paper provides a background to current research on the cognitive interview (CI), which is a set of cognitive retrieval techniques designed to facilitate memory search (for example, via reinstatement of contextual cues). One of the principal aims of this research is to identify and develop techniques which police investigators can themselves use. A series of studies were conducted at the University of California, Los Angeles, using police off…
Age-Related Differences in Gaze Following
Previous research revealed age differences in following the gaze of others. To date, however, investigations have concentrated on only young faces as target stimuli. The present study explored whether varying the age of target stimuli moderated gaze following in younger and older adults. Overall, older participants showed less evidence of gaze following, but this was qualified by the age of the face viewed. Younger participants showed an own-age …
Arts-related pedagogies in preschool education
Learning and solving algebra word problems
Although algebra is a prerequisite for higher mathematics, few studies have examined the mathematical and cognitive capabilities that contribute to the development of algebra word problems solving skills. We examined changes in these relations from second to ninth grades. Using a cross-sequential design that spanned 4 years, children from 3 cohorts (Mage = 7.85, 10.05, and 12.32) were administered annual tests of algebra word problems, mathematic…
A Entrevista Cognitiva Melhorada
A entrevista de testemunhas é um procedimento fundamental no decurso das investigações policiais e avaliações forenses. No entanto, o conhecimento, formação e treino destes profissionais para entrevistar testemunhas é frequentemente insuficiente, levando ao uso de técnicas de entrevista inadequadas e à obtenção de informação limitada e pouco fidedigna. Neste artigo abordamos a Entrevista Cognitiva Melhorada, atualmente aceite como um dos métodos …
The cognitive underpinnings of emerging mathematical skills
Background: Exposure to mathematical pattern tasks is often deemed important for developing children's algebraic thinking skills. Yet, there is a dearth of evidence on the cognitive underpinnings of pattern tasks and how early competencies on these tasks are related to later development.Aims: We examined the domain-specific and domain-general determinants of performances on pattern tasks by using (a) a standardized test of numerical and arithmeti…
Behavior displayed by female victims during rapes committed by lone and multiple perpetrators
Research with both the general public and members of the criminal justice system reports a pervasive rape myth of a violent offender and a physically resistant victim.Despite research being conducted on victims' post-rape behavior, few studies have examined victim behavior during sexual assaults, and many of those which have been conducted have tended to focus on physical resistance.This paper reports two studies which examined qualitatively the …
Exposure duration
The current study examined the relationship between the length of exposure to a face in an eyewitness setting and identification accuracy and confidence. A sample of 164 young (ages 17-25) and older (ages 59-81) adults viewed a simulated crime in which they saw the culprit's face for a short (12 s) or long (45 s) duration. They were then tested with a target absent (a line-up not containing the culprit) or target present line-up. Identification a…
People's insight into their own behaviour and speech content while lying
The present experiment examined participants' insight into their own behaviour and speech content while lying. It was hypothesized that participants would believe that while lying they show more behaviour stereotypical of lying than they in fact do (Hypothesis 1), whereas they would believe that their own speech content while lying contains fewer stereotypical features than in fact is true (Hypothesis 2). A stereotypical response was defined as a…
Appropriate skill‐task matching or gender bias in deployment of male and female police officers
This paper examined the deployment practice in one large provincial British police force to determine if there was evidence for systematic gender bias in the tasks assigned to men and women uniformed constables. The officers' experience and the appropriateness of different skills were taken into account with respect to specific deployments. The sample comprised 32 policemen and 31 policewomen who had equivalent years of service and 32 sergeants w…
The effect of a five-month delay on children's and adults' eyewitness memory
Child witnesses must endure a delay of around six months between observing or being the victim of an alleged offence and being required to give evidence in a criminal court. While the legal profession seem to believe that young children's memories are particularly sensitive to the passage of time, developmental psychology can offer little relevant data to support or refute this presumption. In the present study, children aged six and nine years a…
The Stigmatizing Effect of Facial Disfigurement
Most research on the stigmatizing effect of facial disfigurement has taken place in London, England. The present study found that irrespective of whether they were nurses or office workers, women both in Nigeria and in England rated faces that had a minor scar as less sociable, less attractive, and more dishonest than did women who saw the same stimulus faces when "normal." Few interactions were found between the variables of disfigurement, race …

Isolating the effects of the cognitive interview techniques
The cognitive interview (CI) is a procedure designed for use in police interviews involving witnesses. This study tested the most recent version of the CI (Fisher & Geiselman, 1992) which comprises not only 'cognitive' techniques such as context reinstatement but also 'social' techniques for increasing rapport. Children (aged eight-nine years) viewed a magic show and were interviewed after a short delay of two days (time 1) and/or a longer delay …
Improving the quality of the police interview
Previous research on the Cognitive Interview (CI) has suggested that it is an effective procedure to use when interviewing witnesses. Much of the research however, has used college students as interviewers and provided little information about the quality of training. The aim of this research was to pilot a CI training procedure using thirty‐eight British police officers with varying levels of field experience. An armed robbery was staged and int…
Child Witnesses in Scottish Criminal Trials
This paper presents the results of the first British study to record systematically observations of children giving evidence in criminal trials. Psychologists watched a total of 89 children aged between 5–15 years being examined as prosecution witnesses in a wide range of riminal cases being heard in the District, Sheriff and High Courts of Glasgow, Scotland. Ratings were made of the child's demeanour and of the lawyers' questioning techniques. M…
Anxiety, Neuroticism and Extraversion
Very high positive correlations ( N = 85) were observed between the Taylor MAS, Cattell's Anxiety Scale Questionnaire and the neuroticism dimension of the EPI. There were no significant correlations between these and the extraversion dimension of the EPI
Recall after briefing
Preliminary studies suggested that briefing police officers by television led to greater recall than the traditional face‐to‐face method. A more closely controlled test with trainee constables, in which the contents of briefings were the same for the two methods, showed that information presented via television was not better recalled but conversely that television briefing was not worse than the traditional method. Varying the contents of briefi…
The Effects of Clothing Style Upon the Reactions of a Stranger
Our reactions to a stranger can often be influenced by the clothes he wears. In this study a male experimenter, whilst posing as a market researcher, dressed either smartly or untidily. Style of dress was found to have a significant influence upon the number of agreements from both older and younger women to answer the interviewer's questions. Dress did not have a significant influence upon men and older individuals were more influenced by clothi…
The effects of attractiveness of writer and penmanship on essay grades
This study examines the effects of penmanship and the physical attractiveness of the writer upon essay assessment. An essay which was always exactly the same in content was assessed by a large number of school teachers and by some students. Some of the assessors received the essay in typed form, for some it was written in good handwriting and for some the handwriting was poor. A photograph of the supposed author of the essay was attached to it vi…
The Relationship Between Ratings of Persons' Facial Appearance and Ratings of Their Conversations
It has been suggested that because of society's reaction to them, the facially attractive develop greater social skill. Support for this notion has come from the work of Goldman and Lewis (1977) who found facially attractive students to be judged to have greater conversational expertise. The present experiment, in which the faces and conversations of students were independently evaluated, found no evidence to support this view
The Influences of Eye-Gaze, Style of Dress, and Locality on the Amounts of Money Donated to a Charity
A number of studies have examined in the laboratory the effects of an individual's eye-gaze upon the behavior of another. In this study the effects of gaze were investigated in a real-life setting in which a collector of money for a charity either looked a possible donor in the eye when asking for money or looked at the collecting tin.

A developmental study of children's stereotyping of facially deformed adults
A frequent complaint of facially deformed people is that they are rejected by others. This study was designed to examine whether negative reactions to facially deformed people would be demonstrated by girls and boys aged 5–11 years. The children were asked to attribute positive or negative characteristics to photographs in which adults were shown before and after minor oral surgery. Despite the relatively small differences in appearance between e…

Executive Functioning as a Predictor of Children's Mathematics Ability
Children's mathematical skills were considered in relation to executive functions. Using multiple measures--including the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task (WCST), dual-task performance, Stroop task, and counting span-it was found that mathematical ability was significantly correlated with all measures of executive functioning, with the exception of dual-task performance. Furthermore, regression analyses revealed that each executive function measure pr…

Positive mood and executive function
Positive mood and executive function
Contrasting predictions have been made about the effects of positive mood states on the performance of frontal lobe tests that tap executive functions such as inhibition, switching, and strategy use. It has been argued that positive mood is likely to improve some cognitive processes, particularly those dependent on the frontal cortex and anterior cingulate of the brain. However, there is some evidence that happy mood may impair executive function…
