Biography

Rosalind Arden is an Assistant Professorial Research Fellow at the Centre for Philosophy of the Natural and Social Sciences (CPNSS) at the London School of Economics. She received her PhD from King’s College London in 2010. Her research focuses on human variation, particularly emphasizing intelligence. Through her work, she explores the implications of cognitive abilities and the environmental and genetic contributions to human variation. Arden employs an evolutionary framework to understand cognitive abilities, considering how these traits have developed in settings typical of the species. Her interests in intelligence have led her to investigate dog cognition as a parallel to human cognitive abilities, finding shared environments with humans over thousands of years. This cross-species exploration provides insights into cognitive tasks and the potential general factor of intelligence present in both humans and dogs.
