Welcome to Anna Jenkins
Tuesday Apr 10, 2012.
Welcome to our newest member of the lab, Adrianna (Anna) Jenkins! Anna recently received her Ph.D. from Harvard University in Psychology, and is joining us as a postdoctoral researcher. Anna investigates how individuals reason about what is unknown or uncertain, including inferences about others' mental states (theory-of-mind or mentalizing) and predictions about the future (prospection). More generally, Anna is interested in the degree to which human social reasoning relies on processes unique to humans and specialized for social cognition versus on more common, general-purpose mechanisms.
