Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Epistemology
  • Linguistics
  • Artificial intelligence

Her primary scientific interests are in Epistemology, Counterfactual thinking, Inference, Social psychology and Cognitive science. Her study in the field of Meaning also crosses realms of Mental model, Competitor analysis and Term. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Affirmative and negative and Statement.

Her Modus tollens and Modus ponens study in the realm of Inference connects with subjects such as Strict conditional and Categorical variable. Her work deals with themes such as Cognitive map, Agency, Imagination and Rationality, which intersect with Social psychology. Her work in Cognitive science addresses issues such as Deductive reasoning, which are connected to fields such as Verbal reasoning, Representation, Propositional calculus and Logical disjunction.

Her most cited work include:

  • Human Reasoning: The Psychology Of Deduction (685 citations)
  • Conditionals: A Theory of Meaning, Pragmatics, and Inference (569 citations)
  • Suppressing valid inferences with conditionals (376 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Ruth M. J. Byrne focuses on Counterfactual thinking, Social psychology, Cognitive psychology, Epistemology and Counterfactual conditional. Her Counterfactual thinking study incorporates themes from Outcome, Mental representation and Linguistics. The Blame research Ruth M. J. Byrne does as part of her general Social psychology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Regret, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

Her work is dedicated to discovering how Epistemology, Cognitive science are connected with Construct and other disciplines. Her research in Counterfactual conditional tackles topics such as Conditional reasoning which are related to areas like Artificial intelligence. Her study focuses on the intersection of Inference and fields such as Deductive reasoning with connections in the field of Psychology of reasoning.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Counterfactual thinking (46.15%)
  • Social psychology (39.23%)
  • Cognitive psychology (31.54%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Counterfactual thinking (46.15%)
  • Counterfactual conditional (20.00%)
  • Cognitive psychology (31.54%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Ruth M. J. Byrne mainly focuses on Counterfactual thinking, Counterfactual conditional, Cognitive psychology, Cognitive science and Epistemology. The concepts of her Counterfactual thinking study are interwoven with issues in Eye tracking, Imagination, Meaning and Morality. Her research investigates the connection between Cognitive psychology and topics such as Moral reasoning that intersect with issues in Experimental psychology.

Her Cognitive science study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Syllogism, General knowledge and Logical reasoning. Her study in the field of Inference is also linked to topics like PsycINFO. Her work on Modus tollens as part of her general Inference study is frequently connected to Conjecture, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Counterfactuals in Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI): Evidence from Human Reasoning. (62 citations)
  • Facts and Possibilities: A Model‐Based Theory of Sentential Reasoning (35 citations)
  • Moral fatigue: The effects of cognitive fatigue on moral reasoning. (14 citations)
