I've updated the course notes for the grad stats (psych252.github.io) class I help teach here at Stanford. You can find them compiled into a 📓 here: psych252.github.io/psych252book/ The lecture slides that go with the notes are here: github.com/psych252/psych #RStats

Big shout-out to

for the great keynote speaker intros and the smooth handling of the hybrid Q&As at #CogSci2022. Thanks Andy!!

Congrats

for killing it at your first conference talk!! So proud of you 😊 #CogSci2022

It's getting busy :)

Your chance to talk with Ari about their work. Don't miss it :)

Thanks

for sharing your work with us at #CogSci2022 demonstrating the many ways in which the methods we use and the minds we study matter. 📃psyarxiv.com/nr8kh/

Amazing talk by

at #CogSci2022 on how children's concern with what others think of them develops. Watch out for a paper coming out next week in

@PNASNews

with

@Mika_Asaba

showing that children are motivated to take actions that impress others!!

Wonderful talk by

at #CogSci2022 on how norms and obligations causally constrain actions, how the capacity to draw inferences from actions about mental states develops, and how this interacts with cultural experiences.

Brilliant talk by

at #CogSci2022 showing evidence that chimps can represent multiple possibilities 🐵💭. This capacity is revealed in competitive contexts when chimps can use actions that come natural to them. 📰socialorigins.berkeley.edu/wp-content/upl

Quotes from Michael Tomasello's fantastic "Evolution of Agency" keynote at #CogSci2022 🦎Fish probably do some things, too. 🦫Thinking is making a model of the world and simulating it before you act. 🦍I'm sorry but chimps don't apologize. 🧑‍🦱Oh, we're in this together. Cool!

Huge congrats

!! It's thanks to Nick's "Principles of Cognition" class during my masters

@EP_UCL

that I got excited in cognitive science, and I'm so happy that all your wonderful work is honored with this award. Thank you Nick!!

Your chance to see Sarah in action now in the poster room :)

Check out Sarah Wu's (sarahawu.github.io) poster "That was close! A counterfactual simulation model of causal judgments about decisions" (P2-19-2241) in tomorrow's session from 1pm to 3pm @ #CogSci2022

#CogSci2022 Also excited to be presenting work with Gail Heyman and

on children's inferences from disagreement! We find that it is not until 11 years that children robustly use disagreement as evidence that an ambiguous event occurred. (Social Cog 3- Flash Talks)

Just out in Cognitive Psychology: Jan-Philipp Fränken’s epic paper Algorithms of Adaptation in Inductive Inference (journal: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00 preprint: psyarxiv.com/ysndt). 🧵

Algorithms of Adaptation in Inductive Inference

We investigate the idea that human concept inference utilizes local incremental search within a compositional mental theory space. To explore this, we study judgments in a challenging task, where...

What did I see? A fantastic keynote by #SPP2022 Stanton prize winner

@chazfirestone

on how perception is much more than seeing 'what' is 'where'. People also see 'how'! How things fit, relate, unfold over time, ... Congrats Chaz!!

Only

can make you laugh and learn at the same time!! Tomer and Eric Bigelow open the black 📦 at #SPP2022 to show that when people evaluate other agents 🤖, they care not only about their behaviors but also about the algorithms that gave rise to it.

Great talk at #SPP2022 by

@phillipsjs

(also known these days as Dr Mullet) on the role that the intent of the messenger plays on whether a message is judged to be true. with

, and many others!

Have you seen Paul this week?

@neele_engelmann

explores whether/when lying is worse than misleading. Answer: It depends! For example, on how reliable the inference based on the misleading message is. Excellent talk at #SPP2022

Wonderfully engaging talk at #SPP2022 by

@JimACEverett

arguing it's time to paint a more complete picture of consequentialism: it's not just about instrumental harm (consequences) but also about impartial beneficence.

Great talk by Nicolò Cesana-Arlotti in yesterday's session on the language of thought at #SPP2022. Nicolò runs studies with babies to figure out how logical thinking develops. 👶💭 And you can join him

soon!

Ari killing it at his first conference presentation at #SPP2022!
