Robert John Audley was a British psychologist whose research was concerned with choice and decision-making.
Career
Robert (Bob) Audley was born in London in 1925. Following
He was active in the British Psychological Society of which he became president in 1981. His Presidential address was on the subject of choice.[3] He was Editor of the British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology from 1963 to 1969. He was also President of the Experimental Psychology Society about which he was interviewed.[4]
Research
There were three strands to his research. The first strand, as a mathematical psychologist, he developed a Theory of Choice to explain the process of decision-making (Audley, 1960; Audley & Pike, 1965).
