Academics and lay people alike deal with uncertainty in their everyday lives. There are many different ways to formally represent uncertainty. Statisticians build models based on parameters and probability distributions, but behavioral researchers often wish to measure people\u2019s subjective uncertainty. Cognitive psychologists might elicit confidence reports from subjects. Economists might compare what people are willing to pay for different prospects. Forecasters might even directly report subjective probability distributions. What can we learn by comparing the various ways people might report their uncertainty? What are the strengths and weaknesses of these different approaches, and how can we map them onto psychological measurements? \u0026nbsp;Do people\u0027s representations of uncertainty change as a function of development or lifespan? Are there cognitive mechanisms that can be trained to make people better uncertainty reporters?\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/coco.psych.gatech.edu\/#:~:text=The%20Computational%20Cognition%20(CoCo)%20Center,the%20US%20(see%20People).\u0022\u003ECenter of Excellence in Computational Cognition\u003C\/a\u003E (CoCo)\u0026nbsp;at Georgia Tech presents \u0022Big\u0026nbsp;Ideas\u0026nbsp;in Computational Cognition,\u0022 a chalk talk by \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/psychology.gatech.edu\/people\/mark-himmelstein\u0022\u003EMark Himmelstein\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"The\u00a0Center of Excellence in Computational Cognition (CoCo)\u00a0at Georgia Tech presents \u0022Big\u00a0Ideas\u00a0in Computational Cognition,\u0022 a chalk talk by Mark Himmelstein"}],"uid":"35575","created_gmt":"2024-09-10 20:55:00","changed_gmt":"2024-09-16 17:13:01","author":"adavidson38","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2024-09-25T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2024-09-25T16:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2024-09-25T16:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2024-09-25 19:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2024-09-25 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2024-09-25 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"J.S.
