Biography

Yanjun Liu is a Research Associate at the School of Psychology at the University of New South Wales. His research utilizes a joint approach of empirical work and computational modeling to understand how people make decisions in the presence of multi-dimensional information. His work focuses on decision-making processes, particularly the unfolding temporal dynamics and interactions between cognitive mechanisms and learning. Liu's research spans various domains including visual search, categorization, preference construction, multi-attribute decision-making, and risky choices. His latest focus is on understanding how false beliefs formed during early learning processes can influence subsequent decision-making. He completed his PhD in Cognitive Psychology under the supervision of Dr. James T. Townsend, following a Master's degree in Applied Statistics from Indiana University Bloomington and a Bachelor's degree (summa cum laude) jointly in Psychology and Mathematics-Economics.
