My research is in the philosophical issues related to cognitive
development. I am particularly interested in the normative constraints
on a theory of concept acquisition, the role of language and linguistic
knowledge in children's cognitive development, and on the differences
between theories of learning and theories of development.
I work in Rebecca Treiman's
Reading
and Language Lab in the
Psychology Department. This summer I have been teaching Philosophy of
Cognitive Science. In the Fall, I will be a TA for Mind, Brain, and
Behavior.
