Samuel Paskewitz

My background is in cognitive psychology, particularly computational models of learning and decision-making. Alongside that psychological training, I have also studied mathematical statistics. Some current research interests include:

• applying Bayesian latent variable models to neurocognitive and psychopathology data
• developing better computational models of Pavlovian conditioning and extinction
• using computational models to better understand the relationship between selective attention to threat cues and anxiety related psychopathology

My current role in the department is to:

1. teach graduate level statistics, and
2. give statistics advice to anyone who wants it

If you’re in the department and want to chat about your data, just send me an email describing the study/analysis and we’ll set up a meeting.
