Karla Perez

Karla Perez is a post-baccalaureate research scholar. She earned her B.A. in Philosophy and Data Science from Lake Forest College, IL. At Lake Forest, she worked in an experimental philosophy lab on causal reasoning. Currently, her research interests are broad; she is interested in causal reasoning, how people acquire concepts and (use them to) form ideas, and developing cognitive models. At the intersection of philosophy and science, she is interested in the community and puzzle-building/solving aspect of science (à la Khun) and how cognitive scientists develop theories and characterize their findings.
