Research and Teaching Interests:
As a cognitive psychologist with a penchant for formal models, my long-standing research interests are in behavioral decision theory, including the areas of judgment, choice, probabilistic inference, and measurement. My teaching interests are in these areas, as well as in cognitive and mathematical psychology more broadly. My research, funded over the years primarily by NSF, has both basic and applied components, and has the overall goal of developing useful, well-grounded cognitive theory and methods of analysis regarding processes of judgment and choice. As one of four Associate Research Directors in the new University of Maryland Center for Advanced Study of Language, I am working on integrating research on judgment and related topics with research on issues of language processing.
