Richard Jagacinski

I received a B.S.E. degree in electrical engineering from Princeton University in 1968, and a Ph.D. in experimental psychology from the University of Michigan in 1973. My research interests include perceptual-motor coordination, human factors, aging, decision making in dynamic contexts, and human interactions with the natural environment. John Flach and I have written a tutorial introduction to control theory for behavioral scientists, Control Theory for Humans: Quantitative Approaches to Modeling Performance (2003, Erlbaum).
