Research Interest
My dissertation concerned behaviour systems approaches, especially as they pertain to analyses of cognition of animals, with focus on theories of causal reasoning. My research has employed a variety of methods, including food conditioning in rats, social learning in humans, sexual conditioning in Coturnix quail, and artificial agents in software environments.
