Grant Recipients: National Science Foundation

 Congratulations to Drs. Paul Price & Andrew Smith (alumnus, B.A. in Psychology '03; now Assistant Professor at Appalachian State University in North Carolina) for their receipt of a $120,000 grant from the National Science Foundation's program in Decision, Risk, & Management Sciences! The grant is focused on understanding people's judgments of averages. Results may provide new insights into how quantitative information is represented in the mind/brain, and may suggest ways to elicit more accurate judgments of averages from people in medical, business, and other contexts. The project will involve numerous student research assistants at both universities. It will also involve the development of a teaching module on the funding of scientific research that will be appropriate for inclusion in courses on research methods in psychology.
