Member of the Knowledge Construction Lab
Since August 2022, Maren Mayer has been a postdoctoral researcher at the Knowledge Construction lab. In this position, her research involves sequential collaboration; a process in which contributors consecutively add, change, or maintain information as it can be also observed in Wikipedia or OpenStreetMap. She especially focuses on forming judgments and estimates through sequential collaboration as well as gathering and sharing information.
Maren Mayer studied psychology at the University of Mannheim and completed both her Bachelor’s and Master’s there before starting her Ph.D. on Wisdom of Crowds at the WIN project "Heterogeneity and Convergence in Shared Data Sources", funded by the Heidelberg Academie of Sciences and Humanities. During her Ph.D. she was also an associated member of the research training group Statistical Modeling in Psychology.
