About the DAM Lab
Currently, the primary questions addressed in the DAM Lab concern the interelationships amongst decision making, judgment, and memory, with a focus on developing theoretical and computational models of behavior. In addition to these core issues, the lab is also involved with the development and application of novel statistical methodologies.
Current research in the DAM Lab includes research on basic memory, cognitive ability, social decision processes, and self-regulated learning. The lab also focuses on group decision making and forecasting.
