Noah D. Goodman is Associate Professor of Psychology and Computer Science, and Linguistics (by courtesy) at Stanford University. He directs the Computation & Cognition Lab (CoCoLab) at Stanford, where he leads research on computational models of cognition, integrating logic and probability. His work spans cognitive psychology, linguistics, and computer science. Primary Appointment: Psychology Department By Courtesy: Computer Science Department and Linguistics Department Director: Computation & Cognition Lab (CoCoLab) Goodman's research focuses on computational models of cognition, with particular interest in probabilistic approaches to understanding human thought. His work integrates logic and probability to model concepts, categorization, intuitive theories, causal learning and reasoning, social cognition (including reasoning about others' goals, beliefs, and actions), cognitive development (especially acquisition of abstract knowledge), and natural language semantics and pragmatics. He has made significant contributions to the development of probabilistic programming languages as tools for cognitive modeling. His recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward integrating probabilistic modeling with linguistic theory and social cognition. The articles span computational cognitive science, natural language processing, and artificial intelligence, with a consistent theme of using probabilistic frameworks to understand complex cognitive phenomena. Many papers explore how humans make inferences under uncertainty across different domains. Goodman teaches several courses at Stanford including Language and Thought (Psych 132), Computation and Cognition: the Probabilistic Approach (Psych 204/CS 428), Foundations of Cognition (Psych 205), and Introduction to Cognitive Science. He has also led seminars on topics ranging from natural and artificial intelligence to the science of meditation.
