Georgia DECISION Lab

The Georgia Decision Lab is based in the Psychology

Department of the University of Georgia.  The lab is

collaborative in nature, and has been directed by Dr. Adam

Goodie since 1998.  Our research is dedicated to the

multidisciplinary domain 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) approaches to 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.
