Biography

Craig Leth-Steensen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Carleton University. He obtained his Ph.D. from McGill University. His research interests primarily revolve around cognitive psychology, particularly in the application of quantitative and statistical techniques to analyze psychological data. He focuses on the development of mathematical computational models, including random walks and neural networks, to provide theoretical accounts for human cognitive and psychophysical performance, especially concerning reaction times and their distributions. Craig's experimental interests also include studying comparative judgments related to symbolically represented attributes such as numbers, word recognition, and the information processing associated with sub-clinical autistic traits. His work is situated within the broader areas of health, personality, and social psychology, with an inclination towards applying quantitative methods to analyze survey and questionnaire data.
