The Reasoning and Decisions Lab (RAD Lab) is a team of psychological scientists and research students at The University of Adelaide, directed by Dr Rachel Stephens. We collaborate with other scientists in Adelaide and across the country.
Research in the RAD Lab focuses on testing the cognitive processes that drive human reasoning and decision-making, from childhood to adulthood.
Our overarching goal is to shed light on how people draw conclusions or make decisions, based on new and existing knowledge. We seek to understand the strengths of human thinking and also the situational and cognitive factors that can lead to errors and biases in thinking.
We also develop tools and techniques that can help people to reason more effectively.
We will share information about our research projects on this page, including any opportunities for people to participate in current studies.
