Publications by Danielle Navarro
One of the most venerable traditions of academia is to include a page drily listing the scholarly books and journal publications for which one is to be held responsible. One presumes that this tiresome practice establishes ones credentials to ones peers, who will dutifully stare at the wall of text and be impressed by the overwhelming boredom it inspires. Though I no longer darken the doorsteps of my betters in the academic world, I have not quite abandoned the practice of self-archiving my work. The listing is fairly complete from 2016 onwards, but for earlier years only a subset of the papers is included. People who know why I left academia can guess at the reason for the omissions.
Back when I was part of that world, my academic research investigated how people learn, reason, and make choices in an uncertain world. It touched on topics in cognition, machine learning, statistics, visual perception, data visualisation, language, cultural evolution, cognitive development, and forensic psychology (I know, it’s a weird mix…). To spare the casual reader the dull exercise of reading the whole thing I’ve featured few favourite projects below, but you’re welcome to browse through the more-complete list if you feel sufficiently masochistic.
