Dr Froemer studies the switches by which people flexibly adjust how they learn and make decisions, and how they set these switches according to their momentary goals and motivational states. To address these questions, she combines behavioral measures, computational modeling, eye-tracking, psychophysiological recordings and/or neuroimaging techniques. The long-term goal of her work is to identify levers that empower people to improve not only their learning and decision-making, but also how they feel about it.
