Thierry Bollon serves as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Savoie Mont Blanc in Chambéry, France, where he bridges social psychology and computational modeling through innovative connectionist approaches. His research fundamentally challenges traditional social psychology frameworks by simulating how social context shapes cognitive processing. Bollon's work centers on three interconnected domains: Social learning mechanisms in motor task acquisition Computational modeling of social norm internalization (exemplified by the NetNorm framework) Emotion-decision interactions, particularly how uncertainty appraisal modulates risk-taking in tasks like the Iowa Gambling Task His methodology uniquely integrates neural network architectures with social psychological theory to model contextual influences on cognition. Analysis of his 1995-2013 publications reveals consistent emphasis on computational social psychology, with recent work (2008-2013) increasingly focusing on emotion-cognition dynamics. Key themes include appraisal theory applications, social context simulation, and the development of specialized connectionist models for social phenomena. His research demonstrates how computational approaches can generate testable predictions about social behavior. While grant details aren't specified in available materials, Bollon maintains active collaborations with researchers including Virginie Bagneux, Pascal Pansu, and Adeline Paignon across multiple publications. His advising appears to focus on computational social psychology methods, with co-authors suggesting mentorship of junior researchers in neural network modeling applications.
