Forskning, undervisning och tredje uppgiften
Forskning
Min forskning fokuserar främst på att kontrastera modeller för hur människor lagrar och använder information. För ett (förhoppningsvis) konkret exempel, anta att en spelare funderar över om det är meningsfullt att satsa pengar på att Helsingborgs IF skall vinna en fotbollsmatch mot Örebro SK. I denna situation måste spelaren använda sig av kunskap om de två fotbollslagen (t.ex., hur mycket bättre är Helsingborgs IF?), kunskap om fotbollsmiljön (t.ex., hur troligt är det att hemmalaget vinner?) och kunskap om spelmiljön (t.ex., är oddset rimligt?). Spelaren måste dra fram denna kunskap ur minnet, väga samman den och sedan fatta ett beslut (satsa eller inte satsa) baserad på denna sammanvägning. Jag är intresserad av modeller som försöker fånga den kognitiva basen i denna beslutsprocess. Det vill säga modeller ämnade att förklara hur kunskap är lagrad, hur kunskap dras fram, hur kunskap bearbetas och hur beslut tas. Huvuddelen av mina publikationer berör hur den kognitiva basen för sannolikhetsbedömningar.
Undervisning
Jag undervisar inom kognitionspsykologi samt statistik och metod. Största delen av min undervisning involverar handledning av studentuppsatser på olika nivåer.
