معرفی
Elisabeth Norman is a Professor in the Department of Social Psychology at the University of Bergen, Norway. She is affiliated with multiple research groups including the Digital Learning Communities, the Research Group on Decision Making, Intuition, Consciousness and Emotions (DICE Group), and the Bergen Laboratory for the Study of Decision, Intuition, Consciousness, and Emotion.
Her primary research interests focus on metacognition, intuition, implicit vs. explicit learning, awareness, and the interaction between affective states and cognitive processes. Norman investigates how people learn without awareness, how intuitive feelings relate to unconscious knowledge, and the extent to which strategic control is associated with awareness in cognitive tasks. Her work bridges theoretical cognitive psychology with practical applications in education, clinical settings, and organizational contexts.
Norman's recent publications reveal a consistent focus on how metacognitive experiences guide learning and decision making, with increasing attention to digital environments and their impact on cognitive processes. Her research employs diverse methodologies including laboratory experiments, systematic reviews, and web-based studies, often examining how unconscious processes influence conscious judgments and behaviors.
She has received attention in Norwegian media for her expertise on intuition and unconscious cognitive processes, appearing on programs like Nyhetsmorgen and contributing to public understanding of psychological phenomena.
Norman teaches PSYK208 Affect and Cognition and supervises bachelor's theses in general psychology, demonstrating her commitment to education alongside her research activities. Her collaborations span multiple institutions and disciplines, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of her work on consciousness and cognition.
