The title of the presentation is \u201cDeveloping and evaluating a training program in legal psychology for Finnish asylum officials\u201d.&nbsp;The training program was focused on educating the officials on topics related to the function of human memory and training on interviewing skills, such as formulating relevant interview questions to elicit relevant answers while minimizing errors. The research showed that the training program was very effective and yielded a large effect size (d = 1.67) which lasted even after a 5-month follow-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can get access to the published research article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/1068316X.2025.2456254\">here<\/a>.
