I conduct research within the emerging field of behavioral decision-making. My primary research topic is the development and evaluation of mathematical models of individual and group decision-making. My recent work examines how individuals integrate multiple pieces of information when making a decision and the "rationality" of various decision strategies. I am also interested in evaluating the performance of various decision rules in the context of the linear model.

Dr. Clintin Davis-Stober is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences at the University of Missouri.
