I have a long-standing interest in the philosophy of science and in cognitive aspects of the scientific method. In pursuing my interest in this area, I have been drawn to issues relating to inductive inference and free will and associated psychological issues. I am particularly interested in the psychological resources involved in inductive inference and the exercise of free will, with particular emphasis on those associated with the psychology of self.
