Folk psychology, normative cognition, and the wide distribution of norms, Kristin Andrews
\n<\/strong>Kristin Andrews is York Research Chair in Animal Minds and Professor of Philosophy at York University (Toronto), where she also helps coordinate the Cognitive Science program and the Greater Toronto Area Animal Cognition Discussion Group. Her research explores the evolution of morality, the pluralistic and normative nature of human folk psychology, animal cognition, and normativity in human and nonhuman animals.<\/p>\n

This seminar is part of The Reading Centre for Cognition Research’s 2021 Summer Seminar Series:\u00a0Understanding ourselves and others: reasoning and rationality<\/strong><\/p>\n

The aim of this seminar series is to explore these newer approaches to reasoning and rationality, looking at cutting edge work in the area and asking what these moves might tell us about how we go about understanding the actions of others and ourselves.<\/p>\n

A standard picture of humans as generally ordered and orderly thinkers has come under significant pressure in recent years, in particular from the work of Kahneman and others who have stressed our susceptibility to a range of cognitive traps (such as framing or bias). Although the claim commonly associated with this school of thought \u2013 that we are \u2018predictably irrational\u2019, in Ariely\u2019s phrase \u2013 has been rejected by many, even those who seek to defend our status as good reasoners often suggest a more complex and potentially messy set of processes, mechanisms and features than those standardly appealed to in classic folk psychological approaches.<\/p>\n
