  • Research:
    I am a graduate student under Dr. J. David Smith seeking a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology.

    I am interested in categorization and decision making in primates; humans are, of course, included. During the course of graduate school, I have picked up interests in uncertainty monitoring, metacognition, and consciousness, as these are components of the decision making process. I have started research in uncertainty monitoring by rhesus monkeys in categorization tasks, and I am beginning to contribute to the debate on whether or not uncertainty monitoring is metacognition.
