Learning analytics that facilitate meaningful learning experiences
Abstract: The focus of education is shifting from outcomes to processes. How do learners make sense of new challenges, and how can such sense-making be identified and supported? In this talk, I will demonstrate how the use of learning analytics and digital trace analysis, coupled with innovative design and strong theoretical foundations, allows us to… Continue Reading Learning analytics that facilitate meaningful learning experiences

Omens, Luck, and Choice: Tales of How Neural Signals Can Uniquely Inform Decision-Making Science
ABSTRACT How do people perceive luck, anticipate outcomes, and make choices even when no “right” answer exists? And how can brain signals help us understand these processes beyond behavior? In this talk, I will share two lines of work that uncover hidden mechanisms underlying decision-making quirks, taking advantage of neural signals. The first line, developed with… Continue Reading Omens, Luck, and Choice: Tales of How Neural Signals Can Uniquely Inform Decision-Making Science

Using Large Language Models to Predict Human Choice from Textual Description
Abstract: Predicting human decision-making under risk and uncertainty is a long-standing challenge in cognitive science, economics, and AI. While prior research has focused on numerically described lotteries, real-world decisions often rely on textual descriptions. This study conducts the first large-scale exploration of human decision-making in such tasks using a large dataset of one-shot binary choices… Continue Reading Using Large Language Models to Predict Human Choice from Textual Description

Age and Creativity: Exploring the Ability to Break Creative Impasse and How Age Affects this Ability
Abstract: Based on the associative theory of creativity, creative thinking is defined as a process of combining associative elements in memory into something that is new and useful idea. Creative block is a well-known problem described as an impasse, or lack of ideas in the mind during the thinking process. Can such impasse be broken… Continue Reading Age and Creativity: Exploring the Ability to Break Creative Impasse and How Age Affects this Ability
