About Pauline

Pauline Howie serves as Honorary Associate Professor in the School of Psychology, Faculty of Science, at the University of Sydney, with affiliation to the Clinical Psychology Unit. She holds a BA and PhD from the University of New South Wales. Her academic career at the University of Sydney includes roles such as graduate adviser for psychology programs in the Faculty of Science handbooks and coordinator for the Developmental Psychology unit PSYC3016. Howie's research primarily centers on developmental psychology, examining children's metamemory, confidence judgments in event recall, developmental progression in confidence-accuracy relationships, source monitoring differences, and factors affecting children's responses to repeated questions in recall tasks. She has explored the impact of question format, age, and perceived rationale for repetition on children's testimony reliability. Additional investigations cover genetic components of stuttering, including concordance in monozygotic and dizygotic twins, disfluency frequency similarities, and treatment outcomes using token reinforcement. Her work also addresses language maintenance and family relations among Chinese immigrant children in Australia, postpartum depression and anxiety diagnosis in mothers and fathers, trauma exposure and psychiatric comorbidity in female juvenile offenders, and psychopathology in young female offenders.
