Explanatory reasoning and scientific explanation
We study how novices and practicing scientists explain the unfamiliar to examine the cognitive constraints on scientific explanation.
-
Analogical reasoning and arguments by analogy
People make arguments by analogy in the form of memes, but also in legal and philosophical reasoning. We investigate how people construct these arguments, including developing computational models of this cognitive capacity.
-
Attitude change outside the lab
We use large scale social media data to understand the mechanisms of persuasion in more naturalistic settings.
-
Relational reasoning in adults and children
This work uses symbolic neural network models and Bayesian computational modeling to understand the computational mechanisms of cognitive development.
