PROF. ANDREW M. SMITH

I'm Andrew Smith. I'm an Assistant Professor in Quantitative Psychology at Iowa State University where I am affiliated with both the Cognitive Psychology program and the Psychology and Law Research group. Along with Distinguished Professor Gary L. Wells, I am the Co-PI of the Psychology and Law Research Lab. My research examines the diagnostic accuracy and reliability of eyewitness identification procedures. In addition, I am interested in the quantification of diagnostic accuracy and in construct validity as it relates to measuring memory performance.
