FTCoE TECHNOLOGY TRANSITION WORKSHOP SPACE LIMITED REGISTRATION BY NOMINATION SIGN UP TODAY The National Institute of Justice and the Forensic Technology Center of Excellence (Participating Partner − RTI International) would like to announce the Technology Transition Workshop: Cognitive Factors in Forensic Decision Making. The goal of this workshop is to provide forensic examiners training by cognitive experts to recognize and minimize bias in forensic science. Forensic science plays a pivotal role in policing and the criminal justice system. Although it is widely used and accepted evidence, the work involved in making forensic comparisons requires human perception, judgment, and decision-making. Forensic examiners receive training; however, t his training does not sufficiently address cognitive factors in making forensic comparisons. This two-day workshop takes place April 7 th and 8 th , 2015 at RTI International in Research Triangle Park, NC. Dr. Itiel Dror will be lead the workshop. The workshop will explain some of th e brain and cognitive mechanisms that are relevant to forensic decision making. Then these insights will be connected to practical and specific issues in forensic work. The workshop will include specific examples from a variety of forensic domains, from, DNA and fingerprinting to forensic anthropology. In addition to the knowledge about the cognitive factors involved in forensic decision making, the workshop will provide practical solutions to address weaknesses as well as best practices to enhance forensic work (see, Dr. Dror paper: "Practical Solutions to Cognitive and Human Factor Challenges in Forensic Science"). More information is available at here. Registration is Free. Space is limited to a maximum of 40 attendees to facilitate small-group work and interactive demonstrations . Applications received after February 13, 2015 will not be considered. Please include the following information in your application packet: Itiel Dror (PhD, Harvard; www.cci-hq.com) is interested in how cognitive architecture effects how experts perceive and interpret information. Dr Dror's research has demonstrated how contextual information can influence the judgments and decision making of f orensic examiners. He has published over 100 research articles, and has been extensively cited in the U.S. National Academy of Sciences Report on Forensic Science. He is the Chair of the Forensic Human Factor Group recently established by NIST & DOJ.
