This course explores the scientific study of how different cognitive systems interact with environmental factors to shape individuals' preferences, choices, and judgments. We will discuss empirical research articles related to judgment and decision making and conduct our own experiments. We will cover topics including research ethics, constructing experimental variables, experiment design and methodologies, and how to write an APA-style research report.
