Julie Prosser, Assistant Professor of Psychology at Saint Martin’s University, examines memory construction errors through the lens of the stage-model of memory—encoding, storage, and retrieval—to understand their role in wrongful convictions. Disruptions at any stage can lead to distorted or inaccurate memories, particularly in high-stress legal contexts, emphasizing the need for procedural reforms and greater awareness of memory’s limitations to prevent future injustices. Recorded November 5, 2025 in the Panorama Auditorium. Thanks to the Auditorium staff for sharing this show.
