Module Four will examine how the cognitive processes of memory impacts our evaluation clients. Many of the investigations you may be part of will hinge on the ability of perpetrators, victims, and/or witnesses to accurately remember and report what happened. As the forensic evaluator you will be responsible for determining when a person is faking symptoms, lying about a given scenario, or reporting the truth. Module Four will ask you to reflect on how you approach determining when memory is accurate and faulty.Module Four will examine how the cognitive processes of memory impacts our evaluation clients.

For this milestone, take your case report from PSY 622 and prepare a psychological assessment report that demonstrates use of objective testing data. How do classic and contemporary psychology theories support the claims you have made in your diagnostic consultation?
Make sure your assessment report accounts for the many possible avenues for gathering evidence in legal situations. You will likely rely on memory in some way, so make sure to discuss any limitations that you will bring to your assessment report. If possible, include measures that you learned about in your previous courses as protective mechanisms against the use of memory. Also, make sure you explain why you are using the assessments you selected. This information is often very important should the report be used in a legal proceeding.
