Research Interests

Professor Green studies choice and decision making in rats, pigeons, and people. His research on choice extends to the areas of self control (choice between smaller/sooner rewards and larger/later rewards), behavioral economics (the conjoining of experimental psychology and economic theories), and the discounting of delayed and probabilistic outcomes. The latter research evaluates the mathematical form of the discount function and whether fundamentally similar processes underlie choice behavior involving delayed and probabilistic rewards.
