Arndt Bröder

Prof. Dr. Arndt Bröder is a Professor of Cognitive Psychology in the School of Social Sciences at the University of Mannheim, where he leads the Experimental Psychology Lab. His office is located at L 13, 17 – Room 508 in Mannheim, Germany. With an active research career spanning over two decades, Bröder has established himself as a leading researcher in judgment, decision-making, and memory processes.

Bröder's research primarily focuses on metamemory, episodic memory, recognition heuristics, and cognitive modeling. His work examines how individuals integrate multiple cues in judgment tasks, make decisions based on memory, and assess the accuracy of their own memory capabilities. Recent research has explored the memorability of scene pictures, numerical judgments of realistic stimuli, and the development of experimental tools like the combinatorial set of cartoon characters for cognitive research. His approach often combines experimental methods with mathematical modeling to uncover the cognitive processes underlying human judgment and decision-making.

Analysis of Bröder's recent publications reveals a consistent focus on the interaction between memory processes and judgment/decision-making. His work shows increasing sophistication in methodology, incorporating hierarchical Bayesian approaches and improved experimental designs for studying memory-based decisions. A notable trend is his attention to real-world applications, as seen in research on carbon footprint estimates and naturalistic scene memory.
