I will argue that modern technology — in particular the avai lability of large numbers of participants and the ability to use computers to make the tasks presented to one participant depend on the responses of others — has the potential to change the way we conduct behavioural exper iments. I will talk about two ways to scale up experimental psychology: ru nning many conditions in parallel to exhaustively sample stimulus spaces r ather than relying on sparse theory-driven designs\, and studying effects at the level of groups rather than individuals. I will present case studie s of this approach in the setting of decision-making\, and discuss the imp lications of the results for how we develop theories about human behaviour .\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nTom Griffiths is the Henry R. Luce Professor of Information Technology\, Consciousness and Culture in the Departments of P sychology and Computer Science at Princeton University. His research explo res connections between human and machine learning\, using ideas from stat istics and artificial intelligence to understand how people solve the chal lenging computational problems they encounter in everyday life. Tom comple ted his PhD in Psychology at Stanford University in 2005\, and taught at B rown University and the University of California\, Berkeley before moving to Princeton. He has received awards for his research from organizations r anging from the American Psychological Association to the National Academy of Sciences\, and is a co-author of the book Algorithms to Live By\, intr oducing ideas from computer science and cognitive science to a general aud ience.\n\n\nAbout the series\n\nThe Precision Convergence series is launch ed to catalyze unique synergy between\, on the one hand\, novel partnershi ps across sciences\, sectors and jurisdictions around targeted domains of real-world solutions\, and on the other hand\, a next generation convergen ce of AI with advanced research computing and other data and digital archi tectures such as PSC’s Bridges-2\, and supporting data sharing frameworks such as HuBMAP\, informing in a real time as possible the design\, deploym ent and monitoring of solutions for adaptive real-world behaviour and cont ext.\n\nThe Precision Convergence Webinar Series is co-hosted by The McGil l Centre for the Convergence of Health and Economics (MCCHE) at 91ºÚÁÏÍø Uni versity and The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center\, a joint computational r esearch centre between Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pi ttsburgh.\n\n \n DTSTART:20221026T150000Z DTEND:20221026T170000Z SUMMARY:MCCHE Precision Convergence Webinar Series with Tom Griffiths URL:/desautels/channels/event/mcche-precision-converge nce-webinar-series-tom-griffiths-340623 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
