Welcome to the
Amsterdam Mathematical
Psychology Laboratory
The primary aim of the Amsterdam Mathematical Psychology Laboratory (AMPL) is the experimental investigation of cognitive processes that underpin decision making, response inhibition, language, attention, memory, and learning. AMPL has two broad foci: (1) mathematical and computational cognitive models; and (2) the application of cognitive psychology to applied problems.
