Title: Memory for License Plates.
Creator: Beazley, Joanna, Earles, Julie, Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry
Abstract/Description: The purpose of this study is to determine which United States license plate(s) are best designed for recall. Based on what we know of human memory in terms of numbers, letters, and their combinations, this study aims to identify the “ideal” license plate for citizens to remember. This study’s results will be applicable in criminal cases, as well as in identifying vehicles involved in AMBER Alerts and Silver Alerts. There are many studies that have examined eyewitness memory for crimes in...
Show moreThe purpose of this study is to determine which United States license plate(s) are best designed for recall. Based on what we know of human memory in terms of numbers, letters, and their combinations, this study aims to identify the “ideal” license plate for citizens to remember. This study’s results will be applicable in criminal cases, as well as in identifying vehicles involved in AMBER Alerts and Silver Alerts. There are many studies that have examined eyewitness memory for crimes in younger adults and older adults. In this study, we will examine the effects of age on memory for license plates. We want to determine which license plates are better remembered by younger and older adults. We hypothesize that the organization of letters and numbers on the license plate will have a larger effect on older adults than on younger adults because older adults need more memory support.

Title: Adult Age Differences in Event Memory for Events.
Creator: Beazley, Joanna, Devlin, Patrick, Earles, Julie, Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry
Abstract/Description: In order to remember an event, one must remember the participants in the event, the actions that are performed, and which people performed which actions. Often people make binding errors in memory in which they remember the people and the actions, but they incorrectly remember one person as the person who performed an action that was actually performed by someone else. Half of the participants in our study saw a series of actions with each action performed by one of two actors. The other half...
Show moreIn order to remember an event, one must remember the participants in the event, the actions that are performed, and which people performed which actions. Often people make binding errors in memory in which they remember the people and the actions, but they incorrectly remember one person as the person who performed an action that was actually performed by someone else. Half of the participants in our study saw a series of actions with each action performed by one of two actors. The other half of the participants saw each action performed by a different actor. We found that older adults were more likely to make binding errors than were younger adults. Younger adults were equally likely to make binding errors in the two conditions. Older adults, however, made many fewer binding errors when they saw only two actors during encoding than when they saw many actors during encoding.

Title: Identification of others through biological motion.
Creator: Fuller, Nicholas, Kersten, Alan, Earles, Julie
Abstract/Description: In point-light models, visual cues are reduced to points of light indicating the major points of movements of the human body. Although we are able to recognize people through movement, accuracy of identification of strangers through point-light models is low. Connecting the major points of motion to represent a skeleton might enhance the ability to recognize strangers. This study also wishes to assess whether accuracy will be improved through learning general movement characteristics of...
Show moreIn point-light models, visual cues are reduced to points of light indicating the major points of movements of the human body. Although we are able to recognize people through movement, accuracy of identification of strangers through point-light models is low. Connecting the major points of motion to represent a skeleton might enhance the ability to recognize strangers. This study also wishes to assess whether accuracy will be improved through learning general movement characteristics of individuals. After a learning stage, participants were randomly assigned to match names with either point-light or skeleton models of actor movements. Two of the four actions performed by actors in the testing stage were previously seen during the learning stage. We expect identification from skeleton displays will be higher than for point light displays. We also expect higher accuracy for actions previously seen during the learning stage. The findings and their implications will be discussed.
