We investigate social cognition, empathy, morality, prosociality, and metacognition using functional neuroimaging and behavioral methods
Our work is situated at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience, social psychology, behavioral economics and political psychology. We are also conducting field studies in the Sahel region of Africa and the Congo that draw on behavioral economics and developmental psychology to examining how exposure to armed-conflict and forced displacement affect the formation of children’s social preferences and their community’ social norms.
