Samuel Recht

Samuel Recht is a Stipendiary Lecturer at Pembroke College and Fyssen Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Oxford's Department of Experimental Psychology. He holds membership in the Teaching Policy Committee and ECR Committee. His research focuses on behavioral and neuronal mechanisms of attention, metacognition, and learning. Key interests include attention's role in metacognition during perception and the interplay between metacognition and curiosity-driven learning.

Research highlights dissociations between subjective confidence and objective accuracy in perceptual tasks, suggesting segregated functional pathways for decision-making and metacognition. He collaborates with Sanjay Manohar and Nick Yeung (Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience).
