Bonan Zhao is a researcher at the University of Edinburgh whose work focuses on cognitive modeling, conceptual bootstrapping, and causal generalization. Their research explores how humans infer causal relationships, generalize knowledge, and solve complex problems using logical and computational frameworks. Zhao's publications include studies on the use of dynamic epistemic logic in predicting cognitive difficulty, the role of recombination in innovation, and the application of Bayesian models to human learning. They also examine the logic of social networks and the cognitive mechanisms underlying prosocial behavior. Zhao's work bridges cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and philosophy, emphasizing the interplay between symbolic and sub-symbolic systems in human and machine learning.
