Senior Government Investigator
Dr Maras presents the research on why existing investigative interviewing practices such as cognitive interviewing do not work with well for people with autism. She discusses the challenges and evidence based strategies for gathering accurate, reliable evidence from people with autism.
Katie’s research interests lie in applied cognitive psychology, with two main strands: autism and eyewitness/forensic psychology. Her current work, focuses on how autistic adults think and communicate differently, and what adaptations service providers can make to accommodate these differences. Katie has published numerous papers on a variety of topics concerning autism. This includes assessing credibility of autistic witnesses by jurors and how to improve current police interview strategies to produce better evidence. This webinar was first delivered as part of the MyKludo Virtual Investigative Interviewing Conference 2020.
