Jonathan F. Kominsky is an Assistant Professor of Cognitive Science at Central European University in Vienna, serving as Principal Investigator (PI) of the Causal Cognition Lab and co-PI of the CEU Cognitive Development Center. His research focuses on understanding how the mind represents causal relationships and employs tools from vision science, cognitive psychology, and developmental psychology to explore causal perception and its development. He created PyHab, an open-source system for infant gaze coding and stimulus presentation, enhancing reproducibility in developmental studies.
Education: Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from Yale University (2016).
Research Interests: Causal perception, counterfactual reasoning, causal representations in infancy, and the interplay between causality and memory. His work bridges perceptual and cognitive mechanisms, examining how causal judgments form and influence decision-making and social evaluation.
