Dr. Arnal is a cognitive psychologist with special interests in memory processes.  Specifically, he is interested in the underlying processes of false memory and prospective memory (i.e., remembering to complete an action at a later time), as well as the application of these topics to both basic and forensic settings.  His current research focuses on the prospective memory of eyewitnesses (e.g., remembering to contact the authorities when a suspect is spotted).
