Bio:
Jörg Rieskamp is a professor of economic psychology in the department of psychology at the University of Basel, Switzerland. He received his Ph.D. in psychology from the Free University of Berlin, Germany. In his research he focuses on the development and testing of cognitive theories of judgment and decision processes. The theories provide a description of the underlying cognitive processes leading to a decision. They also provide an explanation of why human behavior often differs from the predictions of economic theory. Recent research topics cover sequential sampling models of decision making, learning models of investment decisions, Bayesian models of strategy selection, and neural underpinnings of decisions under risk.
