Willem Albert Wagenaar

Willem Albert Wagenaar (30 June 1941 in Utrecht – 27 April 2011) was a Dutch psychologist noted for his work on the reliability of memory.

[1][2][3][4] Wagenaar studied experimental psychology at Utrecht University, where he obtained his doctorandus degree cum laude in Social Sciences in 1965.

From 1973 to 1974 Wagenaar received a Fulbright grant to act as a visiting professor at Pennsylvania State University.

These included the trial of John Demjanjuk who was accused of being the Nazi war criminal known as Ivan the Terrible.

[7] Wagenaar was also an expert in the "Yolanda van B. case", a much publicised Dutch incest trial.
