I gave a talk recently at the NIH workshop on Reasoning Algorithms Across Species, Diagnoses, and Development: Theoretical Frameworks Informing Causal Manipulations. The workshop was organized by Michele Ferrante and Bettina Buhring of NIH’s Cognition Across NIH (CAN) working group. The talk was titled, “Building from and building toward human reasoning capabilities”, and discussed the need for computational cognitive modeling of reasoning as a theoretical and explanatory framework for advancing the study of human reasoning processes.
About Me

I am a Senior Cognitive Scientist at the US Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC. I run the Reasoning Lab at NRL, where we study and build simulations of the mental processes that underlie everyday human reasoning.
