His legacy includes 50 years of research, mentorship, outreach, and leadership. Robin’s scholarly contributions ranged from precise statistical analyses of specific questions (e.g., how best to combine estimates across judges) to equally rigorous examinations of big topics like causal reasoning, learning from experience, and the nature of intuition. He collaborated with scholars in fields from medicine to urban planning and with a remarkable cadre of PhD students at both the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business and Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Robin served as president of the major decision research societies in both the United States and Europe. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
