• W3838316 abstract "Only recently have children been allowed to give testimony in cases of child abuse. Lawyers, judges, social workers, and police officers are learning in workshops conducted by developmental psychologist Stephen Ceci how easily children's memories can be influenced. On July 16, 1997, Janet Motz, administrator for Child Protection Grant Programs of the Colorado Department of Human Services, sat in the main conference room of the Sheraton Denver West in Lakewood, Colorado, and watched the people around her - social workers, police officers, physicians, lawyers, and child psychologists - cringe in their chairs. was as if you could hear them saying to themselves, 'My God, what have been doing all these years!' Motz recalls. The 500 professionals, whose commonality was, as Motz puts it, they'd been around the block a time or two when it came to investigating allegations of child abuse, had gathered for Stephen Ceci's eight-hour workshop Children's Suggestibility in the Courtroom. the end, they were a chastened bunch. first walk into the room, most of the people see me as an egghead academician who, having been locked away in an ivory tower, has very little to say that's relevant to their everyday lives in the trenches, says Ceci, the Helen L. Carr Professor of Developmental Psychology and expert on the reliability of children's legal testimony. By the end of the day - using actual forensic interviews, conducted by real professionals, of real children involved in the criminal justice system - hope to disabuse them of that idea. Word of just how well he does so travels fast. In the three days between Ceci's first workshop in Denver - the first of four held around the state - and his return to Lakewood, 40 more people signed up for the workshop. When they were told enrollment was full, they sneaked in anyway! Such a following isn't unique to Colorado. Around the country thousands of professionals involved in the criminal justice system come to hear Ceci lecture and conduct workshops each year. They come, says Betsy Ruslander, Esq., assistant director of the Law Guardian Program for the New York State Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Third Department, because what Ceci has to say is both eye-opening and truly useful on the job. In fact, Ruslander has asked Ceci to be a return presenter at the Law Guardian Update, one of the annual continuing legal education training programs required of the 900 plus law guardians in the 28 counties that make up the Third Judicial Department. I cannot sing Steve's praises high enough, she We bring him back not only because his subject is so relevant but because he's an excellent speaker. He's so riveting that you remember what he says. Indeed the shock value in Ceci's presentations is impressive. His goal as a scientist, he says, is to communicate the very best of what 20 years of his research on the suggestibility of children's memory has to say to practitioners so they can better do their jobs of advocating for children. But scientific data often fly in the face of what lawyers, judges, social workers, and police officers are convinced they've come to - that their years of experience have taught them how to read from a child's facial expressions and body language whether he or she is telling the truth. It just can't be done, says Ceci. There's no Pinocchio test. But try telling that to a social worker who has interviewed children for 20 years, or to a judge who's sat on the bench for 35. Ceci doesn't. Instead he shows them a videotape of a carefully controlled experiment. The video is of a child describing from memory where a doctor had touched him during a physical examination. Ceci and his researchers know exactly what happened during the exam. While the child's description is accurate in some cases, in others it's not. No matter how experienced they are, the video audiences just can't tell when the child is reporting fact or fancy, Ceci …" @default.
