Professor Michael Ramscar

About Me

My research seeks to understand and explain our everyday notions of concepts, reasoning and language in terms of the psychological and neurological underpinnings of learning and memory. The goal is to develop an ever more precise computational understanding of mind. Particular areas of focus include: the relationship between usage and meaning; language production, comprehension and acquisition; the development and representation of conceptual knowledge; the changing nature of mental computation in development; cognitive modeling; and philosophy of mind, language and psychology.

From here, you can find my published journal articles, read summaries of my most recent research findings, and view my recorded talks. A statement of my research interests and my curriculum vitae are also available.
