Catherine Holland is a graduate student with Jonathan Phillips in the Cognitive Science Department at Dartmouth. Her research on modal cognition (i.e. how we reason about possibilities) falls at the intersection of psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, and computer science. She studies high-level cognition -including decision-making, causal reasoning, and theory of mind - by better understanding how we simulate non-actual possibilities. She earned her BS in Psychological Neuroscience at Yale in 2016 and worked as a lab manager at Harvard Moral Psychology Research Lab, Harvard Greene Lab, and MIT Neuroeconomics Lab before starting my PhD at Dartmouth.
