László Mérő

László Mérő (born Budapest, 11 December 1949) is a Hungarian research psychologist and popular science author.

[1] He is a lecturer at the Experimental Psychology Department of Eötvös Loránd University and at the business school Kürt Academy.

He spent the next ten years at the Computer and Automation Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, working on various pattern recognition and artificial intelligence projects.

He has written two books, Ways of Thinking (newer translation: Habits of Mind) and Moral Calculations, that aroused the interest of the wider, non-professional public.

His books analyze the quasi-rational mechanisms of people and the nature of rationality in general, undermining some common beliefs about our minds' functioning.
