CTY is now enrolling students in grades 6-8 in a new expert-led online mini course that will provide an inside look at how eyewitness testimony is used in the legal system. The course, led by Dr. Amy Lynne Shelton, CTY’s executive director and an expert in psychological and brain sciences, will examine the cognitive psychology and neuroscience behind our affinity for the first-hand account; the impressive nature of human memory; and how and why memories can also be flawed. Students will engage in lively discussions and activities. This course will be offered in three, one-hour sessions over three weeks starting Oct. 28.
