From known to unknown: Individual differences in associative generalisation

该项目旨在研究个体如何以及为什么在从过去的经验总结到新情况的方式上有所不同。该项目的目标是开发一种创新和正式的模型，能够预测给定个体如何根据他们的信仰和个人特征进行概括，并更好地理解当存在多种相互冲突的概括方式时人们的行为。该项目的预期结果是更好地理解和衡量概括，这是一个基本的心理过程。该项目的结果可用于焦虑症的临床治疗的发展，其中过度概括的恐惧反应是一个决定性的特征。

This project aims to investigate how and why individuals differ in the way that they generalise from past experiences to novel situations. The goal of the project is to develop an innovative and formal model capable of predicting how a given individual will generalise based on their beliefs and personal traits, and to better understand how people behave when there are multiple conflicting ways to generalise. The expected outcomes of the project are a better understanding and measurement of generalisation, a fundamental psychological process. The outcomes of this project can be used to benefit the development of clinical treatment for anxiety disorders, of which overgeneralisation of fear responses is a defining feature.
