Hyowon Gweon

Associate Professor of Psychology, Stanford University

External Bio

Hyowon (Hyo) Gweon is an Associate Professor of Psychology and David Huntington Dean’s Faculty Scholar at Stanford. She is broadly interested in how people reason about others, learn from others, and communicate with others. Taking an interdisciplinary approach that combines developmental, computational, and neuroimaging methods, her research aims to explain the cognitive mechanisms that support powerful inferences that underlie distinctively human learning, communication, and prosocial actions.  Her work has been recognized by the Marr Prize (best student paper, Cognitive Science Society,) James S. McDonnell Scholar Award for Human Cognition, Jacobs Early Career Fellowship, and APS Janet Spence Award for Transformative Early Career Contributions. She received her PhD in Cognitive Science from MIT (thesis advisor: Laura Schulz) and stayed as a postdoctoral associate at MIT (with Rebecca Saxe) before joining Stanford in 2014 to lead the Social Learning Lab (http://sll.stanford.edu) where she continues to learn from others and help others learn.
