i'm a graduate
student with michael lee
in the memory
and decision-making lab (madlab) at the university of
california,
irvine.
broadly, i am interested in developing mathematical models of cognitive phenomena. specifically, i am interested in modeling the relationship between stimulus representation
and human
judgments of
similarity
and in modeling the ways people differ in psychological task
performance.
accomplishing these goals requires bringing models of multiple cognitive processes into contact. this often allows the models to say more than they would be able to alone. for example, by combining models of how, when asked to do so, people generate features of stimuli with models of how people judge similarities between pairs of stimuli, inferences about which features are most salient can be performed.
