In experiments, computer simulations, and mathematical analyses, we study both (i) how people make such decisions, and (ii) how they ought to make these decisions in order to behave adaptively. In doing so, we build detailed computational models of how decision processes are adapted to the structure of the environment, as well as how the decision processes interplay with other cognitive processes, such as memory or time perception. Areas of research include (but are not limited to) modeling how people select from a repertoire of decision strategies, how people make inductive inferences, how memory is nestled into to the structure of the environment, how to predict memory retrieval using internet search engines such as Google.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-right:1.15pt;text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:1.15pt;margin-bottom:4.0pt;margin-left:0cm;text-align:justify'><b><span lang=EN-GB style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#0070C0'>Requirements<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-right:1.15pt;text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Applicants should be interested in modeling decision and/or other cognitive processes.
