The field of children's testimony is in turmoil, but a resolution to seemingly intractable debates now appears attainable. In this review, we place the current disagreement in historical context and describe psychological and legal views of child witnesses held by scholars since the turn of the 20th century. Although there has been consistent interest in children's suggestibility over the past century, the past 15 years have been the most active in terms of the number of published studies and novel theorizing about the causal mechanisms that underpin the observed findings. A synthesis of this research posits three "families " of factors—cognitive, social, and biological—that must be considered if one is to understand seemingly contradictory interpretations of the findings. We conclude that there are reliable age differences in suggestibility but that even very young children are capable of recalling much that is forensically relevant. Findings are discussed in terms of the role of expert witnesses. Since the turn of the century, psycholegal scholars have examined the suggestibility of children's testimony in an effort to determine whether they would be credible witnesses. A major issue in this research concerns the degree to which heightened

Lifelogging technologies can capture both mundane and important experiences in our daily lives, resulting in a rich record of the places we visit and the things we see. This study moves beyond technology demonstrations, in aiming to better understand how and why different types of Lifelogs aid memory. Previous work has demonstrated that Lifelogs can aid recall, but that they do many other things too. They can help us look back at the past in new ways, or to reconstruct what we did in our lives, even if we don’t recall exact details. Here we extend the notion of Lifelogging to include locational information. We augment streams of Lifelog images with geographic data to examine how different types of data (visual or locational) might affect memory. Our results show that visual cues promote detailed memories (akin to recollection). In contrast locational information supports inferential processes – allowing participants to reconstruct habits in their behaviour.

Fleishman (1988) described biodata selection technology as among the most promising avenues for generation of new knowledge in personnel selection. However, researchers generally hold biodata selection systems in low regard due to its perceived atheoretical nature. Further, surveys indicate biodata is used in less than 5 % of personnel selection decisions. We argue that biodata systems are no more atheoretical than other popular selection technologies. We review aspects of biodata instruments that make them unique among selection devices and biodata theory as embodied in the ecology model (Mumford, Stokes, & Owens, 1990) before offering two extensions. First, we propose to extend the ecology model by focusing on negative life events, reviewing diverse literatures addressing affective and cognitive reactions to these events. Second, an individual difference variable labeled "moxie " is proposed as a key mediator and/or moderator of latent negative life event-job performance relationships. Specific directions for needed research are presented. Life Experiences 3
