معرفی
Douglas H. Wedell is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of South Carolina and Director of the Institute for Mind and Brain. He earned his Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology from UCLA (1984). His research examines how context shapes judgment, memory, and decision-making through behavioral experiments and neuroimaging.
Current projects investigate affective representations across sensory modalities, contextual influences on preference formation, spatial memory biases, and music cognition. He employs methods including fMRI, psychophysiology, and computational modeling.
Wedell's publications demonstrate integration of behavioral and neuroscientific approaches to contextual cognition. Recent work focuses on cross-modal affective processing, reinforcement learning in changing contexts, and physiological correlates of decision outcomes.
He directs the NSF-funded Summer Research Experience in Brain and Cognitive Sciences and teaches courses in cognitive psychology, judgment/decision-making, and quantitative methods.
