Research Interests
Dr. Goodwin's academic areas of interest revolve around the study of memory. It is memory that makes us who we are, determines how we act, and allows us to make future decisions. Her current interests include the study of individual differences in eyewitness memory and false memory. The use (and misuse) of memory in everyday life is the focus of her research in psychology.
