Short presentation
My research currently has two main areas:
- Understanding how cognitive processes interact to shape clinicians’ patient assessments. The background to this is that inter-rater reliability concerning psychiatric diagnoses is often low.
- How do people handle risk and uncertainty in different situations? The background to this is that we live in a world where we rarely know with certainty what the outcomes of varying decision alternatives will be.
