Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Cognition
  • Artificial intelligence

Steven A. Sloman mainly investigates Cognitive psychology, Causal model, Categorization, Cognition and Similarity. His Cognitive psychology research includes elements of Word recognition, Inference and Episodic memory. His work deals with themes such as Counterfactual conditional, Social psychology, Causality and Causal reasoning, which intersect with Causal model.

In Categorization, Steven A. Sloman works on issues like Concept learning, which are connected to Categorical variable, Premise, Natural language processing and Object. His Cognition research integrates issues from Object and Lexicon. His research on Similarity often connects related areas such as Cognitive Reflection Test.

His most cited work include:

  • The empirical case for two systems of reasoning. (2756 citations)
  • The science of fake news (947 citations)
  • Feature-Based Induction. (392 citations)

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

Steven A. Sloman mainly focuses on Cognitive psychology, Social psychology, Causal model, Cognition and Causal reasoning. His study in Cognitive psychology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Context, Premise and Categorization. The Social psychology study combines topics in areas such as Illusion, Event, Preference and Perception.

The various areas that Steven A. Sloman examines in his Causal model study include Inference, Causality and Action. His Causal reasoning research incorporates themes from Causation, Cognitive science and Psychology of reasoning. His Cognitive science research incorporates elements of Counterfactual conditional, Counterfactual thinking and Bayesian network.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cognitive psychology (30.72%)
  • Social psychology (24.18%)
  • Causal model (22.88%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Social psychology (24.18%)
  • Cognitive psychology (30.72%)
  • Cognitive science (14.38%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Social psychology, Cognitive psychology, Cognitive science, Causal reasoning and Cognition. As part of his studies on Cognitive psychology, Steven A. Sloman often connects relevant subjects like Normative. The concepts of his Cognitive science study are interwoven with issues in Representation, Face and Causal inference.

In his study, Causal model, Mental representation and Self-deception is strongly linked to Inference, which falls under the umbrella field of Causal inference. His Causal reasoning research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Causality, Preference and Human–computer interaction. His Cognition study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Feeling and Attitude.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The science of fake news (947 citations)
  • Causality in Thought (70 citations)
  • Two systems of reasoning: An update. (37 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Statistics
  • Cognition
  • Artificial intelligence

Cognitive psychology, Social psychology, Causal reasoning, Inference and Contrast are his primary areas of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Knowledge level, Phenomenon, Cognition and Comprehension. Steven A. Sloman has included themes like Open data, Causal model and Action in his Social psychology study.

Steven A. Sloman combines subjects such as Mental representation, Causality, Preference and Bayesian network with his study of Causal reasoning. His studies in Inference integrate themes in fields like Cognitive science, Self-deception and Causal inference. In his articles, Steven A. Sloman combines various disciplines, including Contrast and Causal structure.
