A description of my research:
When we see something or recall something or plan a sentence, a representation of what we see or recall or wish to say forms in our brain. What are these representations like? If we knew exactly what they were like then we could replicate them in databases that would be used by computers to see and speak the way we do.
I have been trying to create descriptions of the representations that we use to see and remember and speak in sufficient detail to enable a computer system with all these abilities. Such descriptions are called computational models and may take the form of actual computer programs.
When we see or hear, our brains are transforming information from one form into another. So our brains are information processing systems, just like computers are. Computers can electronically perform operations must faster than our brains. But the procedures that our brains use for transforming information are much faster and more efficient than those currently used by computers. Describing the procedures that the brain uses to encode and retrieve information is the goal of my research.
This work often requires very detailed descriptions of how we perform very simple tasks, such as how we detect the repetition of a letter in a sequence of letters. It makes use of various forms of description that are also part of mathematics and computer science.

EXPLORE OF KEITH J.HOLYOAK
Overview of Research Career
Keith Holyoak's career in cognitive science and cognitive neuroscience has been devoted to understanding the representation of knowledge in the human mind and brain. Over the past four decades, working with an evolving network of outstanding collaborators, he has made a series of important contributions to our understanding of how people think and reason. A key focus of his work has been on how people learn and use abstract relationships that depend on more than direct similarity—relations of the sort required to grasp social regulations, category membership, causality, and analogies. An overarching theme has been that such relational knowledge underlies induction, which encompasses "all inferential processes that expand knowledge in the face of uncertainty" (Holland, Holyoak, Nisbett & Thagard, 1986, p. 1). Holyoak has aimed to understand the cognitive skills that endow humans with what the philosopher Charles Peirce called "special aptitudes for guessing right."
