Understanding Eyewitness Memory: Theory and Applications
My first book, a co-authored work published by New York University Press, covers the topic of Eyewitness Memory and has received high praise:
"An engaging treatment of the current state of the science regarding eyewitness evidence. The authors walk a wise `middle road’ that integrates basic and applied research on perception and memory. Despite its brevity and accessibility, the book covers a lot of ground, including many studies published in the last few years. . . . Gives nuanced treatments of topics such as the effects of stress on memory and the relationship between witnesses’ confidence and their accuracy."
~Stephen Lindsay, University of Victoria
"Will be a great addition to the field. Often, the connection between basic understanding of psychological phenomena and how witnesses behave in real life is missed, but Lane and Houston do a great job in addressing this gap."
~James Lampinen, University of Arkansas

I was part of a large, multi-national team investigating detecting deception in interpreter-facilitated interviews. This project produced multiple publications and guidelines on ethical, science-based methods of deception detection.
