►
Decision
Making.
►Decision-making
expertise
My
main
research
project
as
Research
Fellow
of the
Argentine
National
Research
Council
(CONICET)
is the
investigation
of the
role
of
expertise
in
decision
making.
I am
interested
in
investigating
the
relationship
between
performance
in
traditional
decision
making
tasks,
ecological
decision
making
tasks
and
cognitive
tests
(e.g."cognitive
reflection
test"
and
"Tower
of
London").
I am
also
interested
in the
role
of
previous
knowledge
in
decision
making
tasks.
The
members
of my
research
team
are:
Silvana
Amorena
(Universidad
Abierta
Interamericana)
Gabriela
Dalvit
(Universidad
Abierta
Interamericana)
María
Belén
Ortiz
(Universidad
Abierta
Interamericana)
Martín
Labollita
(Universidad
de
Buenos
Aires).
►Decision
making
and
game
theory
I have
recently
commenced
a
collaboration
with
the
economist
Pablo
Fajfar
(University
of
Buenos
Aires,Argentina).
We are
investigating
decision
making
processes
involved
in
strategies
in
typical
tasks
used
in
game
theory.
► Psychology
of
expertise.
►Cognitive
processes
involved
in
expertise
Since
1998 I
have
been
conducting
research
with
expert
chess
players
in
problem
solving,
memory
and
imagery
tasks
and I
used
different
research
techniques
(fMRI,
eye-tracker,
questionnaires
and
traditional
experiments).
This
research
was
conducted
with
Fernand
Gobet
(Brunel
University,
UK)
and
with
Amanda
Parker
(University
of
Newcastle,
UK).
Currently
I am
collaborating
with
Michael
Connors
(Macquarie
University,
Australia)
and
Bruce
Burns
(University
of
Sydney,
Australia)
in a
paper
about
problem
solving
in
chess
players.
Moreover,
I am
collaborating
with
Eduardo
Bermudez
(Universidad
del
Atlántico,
Colombia)
in his
PhD
research
project
about
problem
solving
and
memory
in
a
modified
version
of chess
(chess960).
►Consciousness
and
expertise
I
recently
began
a
research
collaboration
with
Merim
Bilalic
(University
of
Tübingen,
Germany)
on
conscious
and
unconscious
processes
in
chess
experts.
►Acquisition
and
development
of
expertise
Fernand
Gobet
and I
also
studied
developmental
aspects
of the
acquisition
of
expertise
in
chess.
We
were
interested
in the
role
of
handedness,
practice
and
critical
period
in the
attainment
of
high
level
skills.
►Analogical
reasoning
in
experts
Ricardo
Minervino
(Universidad
del
Comahue,
Argentina)
and I
am
planning
a new
research
project
that
aims
at
understanding
analogical
reasoning.
For
that
purpose
we are
going
to
study
the
role
of
expertise
in
analogical
reasoning.
► Theoretical
issues
in
psychology.
►Intelligence
and
remembering
as
expert
skills
My
experimental
work
in
different
aspects
of
expertise
lead
me to
question
several
concepts
and
models
in
cognitive
psychology.
I am
carrying
out a
theoretical
refinement
of the
concepts
"intelligence"
and
"memory".
I am
proposing
that
rather
than
being
fixed
capacities
they
are
skills
that
vary
with
training
and
interaction
with
the
environment.
►Herbert
Simon's
decision
making
approach
Herbert
Simon's
criticised
the
model
of
perfect
rationality
for
decision
making
in
economics.
He
proposed
the
concept
of
bounded
rationality
and
initiated
a
research
program
for
the
investigation
of
decision
making.
The
core
of the
decision
making
research
field
took
into
account
the
concept
of
bounded
rationality
but
did
not
follow
Simon's
research
program.
Fernand
Gobet
and I
produced
a
paper
that
aims
at
unifying
the
research
fields
of
expertise
and
decision
making.
►A
framework
for
psychology
Data
without
theory
is as
bad as
theory
without
data.
Ever
since
psychology
became
a
science
in the
end of
XIX
century
has
been
increasingly
experimental.
This
excellent
aspect
of
psychology
make
researchers
pay
little
attention
to
theory
building.
I have
been
doing
theoretical
work
on the
refinement
of
concepts,
unification
of
diverse
sub-fields
in
psychology
and in
an
integrated
theory
of
human
decision
making.
►
Sport
Psychology
My
research
on
chess
expertise
provided
me
with
knowledge
that
could
be
applied
in
helping
people
to
think
and
make
decisions
in
situations
of
competition.
I
teach
the
module
"Sport
Psychology"
at
Universidad
Interamericana
together
with
Luz
Locatelli
who
obtained
a PhD
in
Sport
Sciences
in
Universidad
de
Granada,
Spain.
We are
working
together
in two
projects.
The
first
one
builds
upon
her
PhD
work
with
football
players
in
which
she
developed
a
technique
to
measure
different
variables
across
the
whole
season.
The
second
project
is on
decision
making
in
basketball
players.
