Research Interests I am a psychologist who studies the cognitive processes that are involved in judgment and decision making. My research examines how people evaluate the utility of alternatives and experiences in the present and future. One research project, for example, showed that football fans were likely to remember the best game they ever saw and use that memory, rather than memories of more typical games, to predict their enjoyment of a game they were about to attend (Morewedge, Gilbert, & Wilson, 2005). I also examine causal reasoning. In other words, how people interpret and decide what caused thoughts, actions, and events. Other aspects of this work examine effects of those interpretations.
