arrow Fall, 2004 article on Dr. Goodie's research


Dr. Goodie directs the Georgia Decision Lab, which is dedicated to the multidisciplinary area of judgment and decision making. Research conducted in the lab encompasses behavioral, neuroscientific and quantitative modeling methods, and approaches problems that are both basic and translational, bridging the gap between basic and applied science.

The primary areas of current research interest are: 1) the role of control in basic decision making; 2) the role of control in the origin, maintenance, prevention and treatment of problem and pathological gambling; 3) decision neuroscience; 4) personality effects and individual differences in decision making; and 5) Bayesian reasoning and base rate neglect under direct experience.
