My research is related to the manner in which spontaneous (automatic) preferences are learned and can be measured. Regarding the learning of preferences, I focus on the role of stimulus pairings (i.e., conditioning). With regard to the measurement of preferences, I examine the nature and utility of various reaction time measures. Other interests include fear conditioning, learning via instructions and observation, the relation between learning, persuasion, and impression formation.
