Research summary
AI-generated

Trisha Van Zandt works on mathematical and statistical modeling of human cognition, particularly how people make decisions and respond to stimuli over time (response times). Her work develops and applies Bayesian statistical methods, including techniques for approximating complex probability calculations, to better understand mental processes such as attention, memory, and decision-making. This research combines cognitive psychology with quantitative modeling and simulation-based statistics.

Publication output peaked around 2018 with a burst of related book chapters, then declined and has remained low and irregular over the past five years, averaging under two publications per year.
