Most of my research projects fall into the following categories:
1. Judgment and decision making (risky decision making, fake news, hindsight bias)
2. Memory (false memory, eyewitness memory)
3. Reasoning (belief bias, politically motivated reasoning)
4. Visual attention (inattentional blindness, attentional blink)
