Additional information – David Kinney is a Lecturer in the Psychology Department at Yale University and a visiting researcher at Google Research. He completed his PhD at the London School of Economics, and was previously a postdoc at Princeton University and at the Santa Fe Institute. Dr Kinney studies intuitive and scientific modes of causal cognition.
