My research focuses on how people make decisions including the development of models of choice. I am particularly interested in understanding the cognitive processes by which people make their decisions.
Current interests include decisions involving risks and/or time delays, and multi-alternative decision-making (i.e. decisions between many different options, such as consumer products).
Research projects
A current interest is exploring the processes underlying consumer context effects, such as the attraction effect. In this project we use reason listing procedures and mouse-tracking to measure both high- and low-level processes.
I also have several ongoing projects exploring how people make decisions that involve risks. For instance, three current interests are: 1) preference reversals, i.e. how risk preferences vary depending on the way in which they are elicited; 2) the impacts of feedback on risk-preferences; and 3) how uncertainty in the timing of events impacts preferences.
