Ever since graduate school I have been deeply in interested in social perception and social explanation. The basic idea that has long driven this work is that social perception is very much like understanding a story where, as we read the story, we build a more and more detailed mental model or mental structure of the characters and events, and the motivation and personality of the characters.\u00a0 In order to build these mental models or narrative structures we draw on a rich body of knowledge that we have developed over our years, and we use constraint satisfaction processes to fit these pieces of knowledge together into a coherent representation.<\/p>\n

In various papers over the years, we have laid out a theory of the Knowledge Structures that we draw upon and how those are used.\u00a0 We have then developed neural network models of how these knowledge structures are integrated into a coherent model, using constraint satisfaction processes.<\/p>\n

Iterative Reprocessing of Evaluation<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

We also published on a paper on a neural network model implementation of Cunningham and Zelazo\u2019s Iterative Reprocessing Model, which argues that evaluative processing is not the result of a dual process model, but rather is the result of the iterative reprocessing of information over time as activation spreads through the brain.<\/p>\n

    Threat Perception<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

    We are also currently working on a neural network model of David March\u2019s DIP(Dual Implicit Process) model of Threat Perception and are using it to better explicate the cognitive mechanisms behind Correll\u2019s Shooter task and Payne\u2019s Weapon Identification Task.<\/p>\n

    Spontaneous Trait<\/strong> <\/span>Inferences<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

    As part of our interest in Person Perception, we have long been interested in the processing mechanisms for Spontaneous Trait Inferences and have outlined how these processes could be understood in terms of our neural network model of social perception.\u00a0 However, we have never built an explicit computational implementation of that process.\u00a0 But recently we have begun working on a neural network implementation of a model of how Spontaneous Trait Inferences are processed (STIs) and how STIs may be updated on the basis of new information.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Event Perception<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

    We have recently started looking more deeply at the role of event segmentation in event perception and social perception. This work draws on work by Darren Newtson and Jeffrey Zacks.<\/p>\n
