Early life and education

Career and works
Machery works in philosophy, experimental philosophy, and cognitive science, especially concepts. According to him, the notion of concept is ill-suited for scientific psychology. Therefore, he criticizes neo-empiricist accounts of concepts. His work in experimental psychology focuses on external validity and statistics. He has also worked on theories of human cognition.[3]
Machery has written on various topics, including categorization and concept learning.[4] He has used experimental and quasi-experimental methods to determine the characteristics of intuition and folk judgments about intentional action.[5]
