Why is the focus on objective numbers and mechanical number crunching misguided? Read here https://t.co/W8Ex9iel12 how #gist and #fuzzytrace theory can improve #numeracy essential to #decisionmaking. @CornellCHE @CornellPsychDpt @PsychScience @socmdm

Can you trust AI? Awarded @NSF "Trustworthy AI in Law and Society" grant to study #Fuzzy-trace #gists in #AI science communications and in the values of diverse human voices to build trust. #ValerieReyna #Reynalab

We discuss a new model of how probabilistic and temporal uncertainty differs across age and individuals; how critical tests adjudicate between theories of uncertainty; and how these mechanisms might be represented in the brain. @FABBS https://t.co/ndattejigr
