creature’s sense <strong>of</strong>: (1) body/part ownership, (2) agency, (3) embodiment, and (4) selflocation.<br />
In a comparative perspective, I study spatial reasoning, flexible behavior and tool use in a<br />
variety <strong>of</strong> primate species, including capuchin monkeys, chimpanzees and humans. Example<br />
research topics in this area: (1) manual actions inserting objects into substrates (as a<br />
prerequisite for some tool use), (2) combinatory object manipulation (stacking blocks and<br />
oddly-shaped objects), (3) spatial reasoning and decision making (rank ordering and<br />
decisions-from-a-distance in a simulated foraging task), and (4) environment monitoring<br />
behaviors (allocation <strong>of</strong> attention to task, environment and conspecifics).<br />
I am also interested in neurophilosophy, history and philosophy <strong>of</strong> science, artificial<br />
intelligence, learning, and embodied/extended cognition.<br />
