Christin Schulze

Christin Schulze is a Lecturer in Computational Cognitive Science at the School of Psychology, University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney). Her research investigates cognitive processes underlying adaptive behavior in uncertain environments, focusing on three core areas: (1) development of decision-making strategies in childhood, (2) influence of firsthand probabilistic experience on judgments, and (3) differences between individual and group strategies for handling uncertainty.

• Key real-world applications include avalanche risk navigation and educational decision-making
• Collaborations span institutions like University of Basel, University of Potsdam, and University of Melbourne

Recent work explores cognitive cost timelines, adaptivity in probability learning, and social sampling mechanisms. Publications emphasize computational modeling, experimental validation, and cross-species comparisons (humans/chimps). She teaches in UNSW’s Psychology School and contributes to international handbooks and journals.
