Oh wow this is almost exactly what I did and hope to be doing, both majors and statistics, except I did statistics in undergraduate, no masters. I'm not sure what tier you're looking at, but the best I could list off the top of my head are: Berkeley, Stanford, UCSD, UCLA, WUSTL, MIT, Brown, NYU, Michigan. They all have different focuses and interests, but that's where I'd start

All cognitive psychology UCLA: 1/30 UCSD: 2/5 Brown: 2/6

Anybody else doing choice and decision making? I'm interested in top-down vs. bottom-up processing on complex decisions, in particular how the structure of our environment changes the top-down rules that we create to govern behavior. For example, do we reason differently about likelihood when we are presented with an environment where we have to make our own inferences about the prevalence of things than when we are told how prevalent they are? How do people intuitively deal with other-worlds logic, if at all? What does all this have to do with our commonsense notions of morality? Sorry for being vague, but I don't want to publish active areas of research on the web. If anybody is interested in something like this, though, I'd be interested to talk more about it!

Hey everybody, Who's going to the interview weekend at UCLA (Jan 30-31)? Just curious if there's anybody else in cognitive psych on these forums going to UCLA.
