Laura Mangold
My name is Laura Mangold and I am a PhD student at the Center of Economic Psychology. My research broadly focuses on the cognition of human decision making. In particular, I'm interested in the effect of goals and experience on decisions under risk and uncertainty, and the cognitive processes underlying goal-driven decisions and decisions from experience. In my research, I use a multi-method approach, combining experimental data with Bayesian statistics and computational cognitive modeling to gain insights into the cognitive processes.
