Assistant Professor, Psychology · New York University
My research examines the cognitive, motivational, and social processes that underpin human problem solving. I am especially interested in questions surrounding the structure and interpretation of intentional action, such as: How do people organize their thoughts and actions when pursuing individual or shared goals? How do people interpret and influence the intentional behavior of others using theory of mind? How do complex social phenomena emerge from the interplay of individual intentions? I am also interested in how approaches from computational cognitive science can inform the development of intelligent machines that interact with people.
My lab is the Computation and Decision-Making Lab, where you can find our papers, people, and how to join. Email: mark.ho@nyu.edu.
