Welcome to the Camden Decision Lab!
Here at the Lab we study a variety of topics surrounding choice, culture, memory, and environments. We have examined decisions developmentally, cross-culturally, and through behavioral economics. Current projects include studies on memory, cognitive load, automatic imitation, humor, emotion perception, and many other topics.
