Basti is interested in the cognitive basis of trait inference and how this shapes intergroup relations. He is currently examining how feedback delay shapes learning about others. In fall 2024, he will begin his PhD work in Social Psychology at Columbia University. Bastian WeitzJan Shujun Yang

I am interested in studying social learning, decision-making, and memory using behavioral, computational, neuroimaging, and clinical approaches. I am currently investigating how feedback timing might modulate social instrumental learning in the lab. Jan Shujun YangDavid Schultner, Ph.D.

While still a collaborator in the lab, David is now a postdoc in the lab of Björn Lindström. He investigates the sociocognitive and computational mechanisms of social learning for decision making and intergroup bias. David Schultner, Ph.D.Michael Berkebile, Ph.D.

Using behavioral, neuroimaging, and computational approaches, Marius investigates the algorithmic ingredients of intergroup bias by asking how our thoughts and feelings reflect and perpetuate our valuation of others. Marius Vollberg, Ph.D.Inga Rösler, Ph.D.

Inga is broadly interested in social interactions, social learning, and cooperation. She combines computational and neuroscientific methods to study how we form impressions of other people’s morality. Inga Rösler, Ph.D.Isabel Kerber

Marla is interested in the social transmission of stereotypes and whether this process can be explained by computational models of social reinforcement learning. She is also interested in the social neuroscience of empathy and is a fan of Open Science. Marla DresselAva Ma de Sousa
