Bio

Dr. Wylie is a developmental psychologist who studies adult-child communication within a legal context. Specifically, she is interested in understanding and improving children’s developing ability to accurately report experiences of maltreatment when questioned by adults (e.g., lawyers, police officers, nurses, teachers, etc.). Her program of research uses a multi-methodological approach to address her research questions, using both experimental laboratory (e.g., assessing children’s linguistic development and understanding of questions using child friendly tasks) and field-based (e.g., coding transcripts of child witness testimonies) methods. Dr. Wylie is passionate about knowledge mobilization and works closely with practitioners in the field to provide trainings and support evidence-inform practices.
