Our society is becoming increasingly dynamic and demanding. But we humans cannot process an infinite amount of information, and that has repercussions for the quality of our judgments and decisions. By generating knowledge about the circumstances and underlying psychological mechanisms, I hope to contribute to 'more sensible' decision-making behaviour in areas such as health, law, and economics.
A central theme in my research concerns the influence of our limited mental capacity on our judgements and decisions, and how we can make the best use of this capacity.
