Research Interests
Higher order cognition (memory/ decision-making/ inductive inference)
Computational modeling / Bayesian data analysis
Wisdom of crowds / Collective Intelligence / Crowdsourcing
Machine learning
Cognitive neuroscience (joint models for behavior and imaging data)
Computational Psychotherapy (joint models for text, coding, and patient data)
My research interests span a diverse set of topics in cognitive science such as wisdom of crowds, episodic and semantic memory, dynamic decision making, and causal reasoning. In each of these areas, I combine mathematical and computational modeling with behavioral experiments. The models and experiments are tightly coupled: I try to formulate empirical questions with the goals of constraining, developing, or testing between alternative computational models of how people learn, process, and represent information.
