Research Interests and Lab Notebooks
Psychology of Methodology
What are the important psychological aspects of designing, implementing, interpreting, and reporting experimental research?
Human Altruism
How do humans behave when they can prevent harm to others by incurring it on themselves?
Human Behavior and Electricity Consumption
What are the cognitive and motivational factors involved in understanding one's electricity consumption?
Methodology of Psychology
How can prescriptive approaches to scientific research help our cognitive and social limitations?
Human and Artificial Intelligence
How can human performance be elucidated by comparing it to modern artificial intelligence methods. For examaple, how does human knowledge representation compare to an ontology? Applications include drug discovery.

My take on everything you need to know to complete an experimental research project.
=Adaptive Pretesting
Adaptive design for pretesting: How can we use adaptive design to develop very strong experiments efficiently? We may want to test our auxiliary assumptions 'online' until they converge into a reasonable risk level.
Stats for Social Sciences
Rest assured there will be no p-values.
Advanced Stats
Rest assured there will be no p-values.
Intro to Cognitive Psychology
Human thinking, reasoning, perception, etc.
Intro to Social Psychology
