Experimental pragmatics, risk communication, and reasoning

It includes experimental studies examining pragmatic influences on how people interpret verbal probabilities and quantifiers and how they draw inferences.

My research focuses on understanding how people handle risk and uncertainty. How they perceive and communicate risks, how they make decisions in the face of uncertainty.
