Research Interests

My research is primarily concerned with high-level aspects of cognition. Previous and ongoing research encompasses causal induction and inference, counterfactual reasoning, statistical models of word-learning, analogy, and the nature of mental representation.

• High-level Cognition:
  • The nature of representation;
  • Reasoning (esp. causal and counterfactual reasoning);
  • Analogy;
  • Concepts and categorization;
• Cognitive modelling:
  • Techniques and approaches;
  • Methodology;
• Philosophy:
  • Causal reasoning;
  • Explanation;
  • Scientific method;

Here are some papers.
