Michiel van Lambalgen (born 6 November 1954, Krimpen aan den IJssel) is a professor of Logic and Cognitive Science at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation and the Department of Philosophy, University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
[1] In the 1980s van Lambalgen did research in randomness,[2] and in set theory, where he developed a theory with a randomness predicate R(x) which had important consequences for Gödel's program of finding more primitive axioms from which statements like Axiom of Choice could be derived.
[3] After some time felt the subject was "too abstract"[citation needed].
Then in the 1990s he moved to artificial intelligence, where he picked up the methodology for studying cognition.
In 1999 he spent a sabbatical with Keith Stenning at the University of Edinburgh where he made contributions to the psychology of reasoning.
