I teach computational methods to learners at every stage — from high-school students getting their first exposure to programming, to postdocs and faculty at intensive workshops. Slides from some recent workshops are provided below.
What can response times tell us? This workshop highlights how jointly modeling choices and response times yields more precise parameter estimates and sharper tests between competing hypotheses.
View slides (PDF)A hands-on introduction to the diffusion decision model and the sequential sampling framework, walking through how these models decompose choices and response times into interpretable cognitive parameters such as evidence accumulation, response caution, and initial biases.
View slides (PDF)Online assessments underpin much of psychology and public health, but LLM-powered bots now pass nearly all standard attention checks. This talk covers the threat synthetic respondents pose to data quality and practical strategies for collecting trustworthy behavioral data online.
View slides (PDF)An introduction to value-based decision-making and the attentional drift diffusion model (aDDM), illustrating how gaze and attention shape the evidence accumulation process underlying simple choices.
