Kelly Goedert’s fascination with psychology – and in particular, how the mind works, began with the simple question: “How is it that we get so good at tying our shoes?” Simple, but profound. What if we never got good at it, or anything else for that matter? Kelly has found that she loves answering questions with numbers. Her idea of a fun vacation is a week-long Bayesian workshop in the Netherlands. (OK, she likes other, more relaxing vacations, too!) Kelly graduated from Western Kentucky University with an undergraduate degree in psychology and an MA in applied experimental psychology. After spending a year working in market research, she returned to school to earn a PhD in cognitive psychology from the University of Virginia. Kelly’s research has ranged from studying spatial attention in healthy human populations and in people with stroke-induced attentional impairments to investigating how people make causal inferences about events (e.g., “What’s causing my stomach upsets?”). Most recently, she is starting a line of research graph comprehension. Her research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. She is a fellow of the Eastern Psychological Association and the Association for Psychological Science. Currently, she is professor of psychology and chair of the psychology department at Seton Hall University, where she is also a faculty member in the data analytics program. In her spare time, she enjoys meditating, traveling, and hanging out with her partner and her dogs.
