The Queen just gets it.

If I was a psych/CogSci professor I’d show this TikTok in my behaviorism class 🤯

Skimming the V-JEPA paper. It's interesting how the cogsci and AI people are coming to the same conclusion as Hume about how we learn causal relationships.

Had a great time in Vienna at a workshop on 'Artifacts, models and materiality' for Tarja Knuuttila's Possible Life project - with excellent talks by Gui Sanches de Oliveira, Oscar and many others! Thanks all!

Studying the Neuro/CogSci version of inference … sometimes sidetracked by the thought: Could/should AGI be built by the best people in open-source and science?

Finally finished reading my 'origins of cogsci' shelf! What would you add/replace*?

*suggestions to replace Newell/Simon will result in a block

I've put together a cogsci reading list...

Help yourself! And please keep sending through additions!

I've put together a reading list for those of you interested in the Science of Learning (or cogsci!)

Help yourself, and please send additions!

To be presented at CogSci 2024:

Learning by imitation is very powerful.

FiwGAN is a model of human language learning that closely resembles human language acquisition as well as processing in the brain (we found the closest correlates between the brain and ANN signals using

You've probably heard me go on about how weird attraction effects are in 🇨🇿 by this point. Now for illusions of grammaticality! The effect is clearly there (BF>70 😮), but it's much smaller compared to English! See our CogSci paper with Jakub Dotlačil!

Most original poster of #vss2024 !

Excited to finally have this paper out at CogSci Society

When I say 'it was warm', does 'hot' 🔥 light up in your mind? Does it depend on the scale in question? Is this activation predictive of whether you will derive an implicature? Our CogSci paper with Nicole Gotzner reports a surprising inverse relationship!

i wouldn’t expect anything less from mit as a description of brain and cogsci major 💀

Pretty wild how academic philosophy is swarming with misogynistic losers and everyone is supposed to just tolerate it

EduCogSci (not cogsci) is coming to a point of inflection. Ideas have stopped flowing, blogging has reduced, many books are echoes. The moves in its rule-set (mainly memory) have been explored.
What will persist into what comes? What will perish?
Make your predictions.

Ute Schmid opens up Day 2 at #Dagstuhl Seminar 'Generalizations by people and machines' with a plenary on Generalizations from #CogSci perspective.

Do school-aged children re-use adults' words (lexical alignment) in adult-child interaction? How does conversational context (i.e., task and partner types) influence their alignment? Read our new paper CogSci Society …ry-wiley-com.unm-ezproxy.idm.oclc.org/doi/10.1111/co…

chat w/ John Yang carlos ICLR 2024 !

🎉New paper our in Cognitive Science CogSci Society with Michael C. Frank and Dan Jurafsky !

It's a deepdive into how visually-grounded LMs - and by extension possibly humans - learn the meanings of complex words like and/or, behind/in front, more/fewer.
