Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
James Michael Lampinen's research program focuses on memory, particularly the formation and characteristics of false memories and the factors influencing eyewitness identification. He has investigated how schematic knowledge, such as room schemas, can influence recollections and how vivid false memories can be created through content borrowing.
Lampinen's work also delves into the reliability of child eyewitnesses, examining their sensitivity to cues related to source credibility. His federally funded research has explored the impact of prior familiarity on eyewitness identification, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) for $700,000. Another NSF grant, totaling $669,885, supported his investigation into the pristine conditions hypothesis of the confidence-accuracy relationship in eyewitness identification.
With a distinguished professorship at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, Lampinen has authored or co-authored 168 publications, accumulating over 2,700 citations and an h-index of 31. He has collaborated with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas, including William Blake Erickson, Pia Pennekamp, Ana J. Bridges, and Jihan Rashed.
