From the School of Computer Science and Department of Psychology at McGill University, I marvel at the world through algorithmic lenses. My specific interests are in quantum computing, evolutionary game theory, modern evolutionary synthesis, and theoretical cognitive science. Previously I was at the Institute for Quantum Computing and Department of Combinatorics & Optimization at the University of Waterloo and a visitor to the Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore.

Is there experimental support for John Perry's “Theory of Structured Procrastination”? @PiotrMigdal yes, you would need a cute experiment to measure it. Alternatively, you might have to come up with a "creativity-task" instead of studying creativity in the wild. |

Is there a variance in acceptance of conspiracy theories by occupation? A related question: What makes people easily subscribe to pseudoscientific theories? |

What is a good textbook for an undergrad Cognitive Neuroscience course? Do we really need a cognitive-neuroscience tag? Why not just tag it as cognitive-psychology and neurobiology? Does their intersection not cover this? You can add theoretical-neuroscience if you want a theory focus. |

Intelligence and marriage satisfaction I would be careful with this question, it is very easy to step on some toes. In particular, it is important to be gender sensitive when asking or answering such a question seriously. The linked Susan Patton opinion article for instance, is filled with what many would considered very sexist sentiments (to point out obvious transgressions: it suggests women can't marry younger men; there is other sexism there that is less clear cut). |

Development of social cognition as an alternative to the obstetrical dilemma @ChristianHummeluhr most of the information richness comes from social-interactions. In the end, since you want to use this hypothesis to distinguish between humans and say crocodiles, you need to account for some part of the environment that is salient to humans but not crocodiles. Hence the stress on the social part (although obviously non-social environmental learning also plays a role, but the proponents of SBH would say a lesser one). See this post for a nice discussion. |

Subtle manipulation in commercials - Kindle Fire HD If you plan to rework the question, then please also fix the tags, of the 4 you have at most one is fitting (perception, and even that is a stretch). The question should instead be tagged as consumer-psychology |
