Catherine Alexandra Hartley is an Associate Professor of Psychology at New York University (NYU), affiliated with the College of Arts & Science and the Department of Psychology. She holds a PhD in Psychology from NYU (2011) and a B.S. in Symbolic Systems from Stanford University (1999). Her research focuses on learning and decision-making processes underlying adaptive behavior, integrating neuroimaging, computational modeling, and genetic analysis. She explores how these processes develop across ages and individual differences.
Education:
- Ph.D., Psychology, New York University, 2011
- B.S., Symbolic Systems, Stanford University, 1999
Research Interests: Dr. Hartley investigates cognitive, computational, and neural mechanisms of prediction, risk evaluation, and behavioral adaptation. Her work examines developmental changes in these processes and employs methods such as fMRI, psychophysiological measures, and experimental paradigms from animal learning and economic decision theories. She also studies how genetics influence individual variability in learning and motivation.
Awards: No awards explicitly listed in the provided text.
Lab & Affiliations: She leads the Hartley Lab at NYU, focusing on developmental dynamics of learning and decision-making. Previous roles include Assistant Professor positions at Weill Cornell Medical College (2014–2016) and a postdoctoral fellowship at the Sackler Institute for Developmental Psychobiology (2012–2014).
