Emily Spearing completed her PhD in Psychology at the University of Warwick in 2022, focusing on the relationship between the accuracy of witnesses' reports and their confidence in those reports. From 2022 to 2024, she worked at the Law School of the University of Exeter in the UK, examining how decision makers, such as jurors, assess the accuracy of individuals' memory reports and how to improve these assessments. In September 2024, she joined the Ecker Memory Cognition Lab at the University of Western Australia. Her current project, 'The Misinformation Future - Confronting Emerging Threats,' explores the impact of AI-generated misinformation on people's beliefs and reasoning behavior, particularly in applied issues like climate change. Her work broadly investigates the effects of misinformation on memory and decision making and seeks to enhance people's ability to assess the veracity of information in various contexts, including the legal system.
