Overview

Andrew Heathcote is affiliated with the University of Newcastle Australia and has a body of work primarily positioned within neuroscience and psychology. Their research emphasizes cognitive neuroscience and experimental and cognitive psychology, with significant contributions to general decision sciences and social psychology. Artificial intelligence is also among their explored subfields.

Their recent papers include:

  • "Winner Takes All! What Are Race Models, and Why and How Should Psychologists Use Them?" (2022, Current Directions in Psychological Science)
  • "Racing against the clock: Evidence-based versus time-based decisions." (2021, Psychological Review)
  • "A new model of decision processing in instrumental learning tasks" (2021, eLife)
  • "Urgency, leakage, and the relative nature of information processing in decision-making." (2020, Psychological Review)
  • "Reconsidering electrophysiological markers of response inhibition in light of trigger failures in the stop-signal task" (2020, Psychophysiology)

Their frequent co-authors include:

  • Dóra Matzke
  • Luke Strickland
  • Russell J. Boag
  • Birte U. Forstmann
  • Shayne Loft

Andrew Heathcote's research appears often in several publication venues, notably:

  • Psychological Review
  • Computational Brain & Behavior
  • Psychonomic Bulletin & Review
  • Frontiers in Psychology
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

Their main research interests cover a range of topics such as:

  • Neural and Behavioral Psychology Studies
  • Decision-Making and Behavioral Economics
  • Human-Automation Interaction and Safety
  • Cognitive Functions and Memory
  • Cognitive Abilities and Testing
  • EEG and Brain-Computer Interfaces
