Tania Lombrozo's research aims to address fundamental questions regarding learning, reasoning, and decision-making through the application of empirical tools from experimental psychology and conceptual tools from analytic philosophy. Her work is informed by philosophy of science, epistemology, and moral philosophy, alongside various branches of psychology such as cognitive, social, and developmental psychology. One significant strand of her research focuses on humans' intrinsic drive to explain, exploring how the need to explain aspects of both the social and physical environment influences the learning process. This includes inquiries into how the quality of explanations impacts judgments and decisions. Additionally, her projects delve into intuitive beliefs about causation, moral responsibility, and the nature of knowledge, engaging with the interplay between descriptive questions concerning human thought and behavior and normative concepts arising within psychological theory.
