Lyle Brenner
My research is focused on modeling human judgment and decision-making. Past work has addressed the determinants of overconfident predictions, models of subjective probability, the consequences of comparisons on evaluations & choice, and different conceptions of loss aversion. I also have an abiding interest in methodology, and if given the chance will rant endlessly about various methodological pet peeves.
Primary Interests:
