After growing up on Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, Dr. Mary Lyn Huffman completed her undergraduate studies at Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL, studying psychology and the sociology of the family. She then studied at Cornell University under Dr. Stephen Ceci where she earned both a MA and a PhD in Human Development and Families Studies in the school of Human Ecology. Her research focused on individual differences in children’s eyewitness memory specifically in the area of suggestibility and interview techniques with children. For over 20 years, she has been an expert witness in these areas testifying across the country. She most enjoys looking at all the pieces of a case and seeing all the factors of possibility affecting the child’s memory including numerous informal discussions with family members, poorly conducted interviews by social workers and police officers, and lack of protocol compliance even by forensically trained interviewers while interviewing a child. Her articles have been published in Consciousness and Cognition, Applied Developmental Science, and Journal of American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Along the way, she also earned a Masters of Arts in Religion from Reformed Theological Seminary. In her free time, she enjoys being active in her local church, hiking with her husband, and spending time with her three adult children.
