| RESEARCH
SUMMARY |
| Most of the work focuses on
descriptive analyses of inference, judgment, and decision making,
and on issues related to behavioral economics. The research
focuses primarily on how people make judgments and decisions
in situations of conflict and uncertainty. What strategies do
people employ in arriving at their decisions? Do these strategies
lead to systematic biases and predictable errors? And what do
these tell us about the way the mind processes the relevant
information? Of particular interest is the contrast between
normative and descriptive theories of rationality. |
