Since September 28th, 2011, Prof. Anne Maass from the University of Padua (Italy) has been visiting our laboratory. On October 1st, she gave a lecture at the 12th conference of the Japanese Society for Law and Psychology held at Nagoya University. The title of her talk was “Where to position the suspect? Spatial bias in line-up construction”. She talked about the various spatial biases that affect the identification of criminals using a lineup, citing examples from the U.S., Germany and Italy, as well as her own research.

During her stay, she has been actively discussing with graduate students about their research. She has also given three presentations on her diverse research to graduate students and faculty members.
