Career and works
The research works of Edouard Machery are in philosophy, experimental philosophy, and cognitive science especially about concepts. According to his theory, the notion of concept is ill-suited for a scientific psychology. Therefore, he criticizes the neo-empiricist accounts of concepts. He has also worked on the experimental psychology, with a special focus on external validity and statistics. He has also worked on the theories of human cognition.[3]
His works are on various topics, including the processes as categorization and concept learning.[4] The experimental philosophy is another topic on which he has worked. He has used experimental and quasi-experimental methods in order to determine the characteristics of intuition and folk judgments about intentional action.[5]
