Jonathan F. Kominsky is a postdoctoral researcher in the Computational Cognitive Development Lab at Rutgers University – Newark. Kominsky got his BA in psychology from Reed College, PhD in developmental psychology from Yale University, and completed an NIH NRSA postdoctoral fellowship at the Harvard Lab for Developmental Studies. He studies how the human mind understands cause and effect: How we extract causal information from the world, how we represent information about causal events and causal systems, how we use that causal information in our reasoning and judgment, and how these abilities emerge and change over the lifespan.
