Metareasoning in Subjective Decisions
Throughout our lives, we make thousands of subjective decisions. But how do we make these decisions? Do we even know? In this project, I explore the ways in which decision makers think about the cognitive processes underlying their subjective decisions.
Large Language Model Metacognition
Large Language Models (LLMs) can answer almost any question you ask. But can they reflect on how they generate their answers? In this project, I use a variety of experimental paradigms to evaluate the metacognitive capacities of LLMs.
LLMs for Collaborative Learning
Educators often think of LLMs as nuisances to be avoided - but can they be used to improve student learning? In this project, we test a new intervention using LLMs as collaborative learning partners to improve students' argumentative writing skills.
Gifted Students' Psychological Development
How can we best support gifted kids? In this project, I evaluate the impact of different forms of gifted programming (e.g., cluster classes, pull-out classes) and the COVID-19 pandemic on gifted students' academic and psychological development
Psychology of Optional Disclosure
In a competitive context, should you share optional information about yourself? In this project, I explore how individuals decide whether or not to disclose information about themselves and the inferences that others make when information is omitted.
