Congratulations to our lab members who recently presented at CogSci 2025! 🥳 @cogscisociety.bsky.social

Representing @vassar.bsky.social at #cogsci2025. My favorite part of the conference was catching up with all these amazing alums!

#cogsci2025 was a blast! Many excellent conversations about inner speech and categorical representation!

What a fantastic #CogSci2025! Somehow I've missed the last 6! And what a joy to see old and new cogsci friends in one place! There's a feeling of real scientific progress and a deep Connectionist<-->Bayesian merger afoot.

This year we attended #cogsci2025 with a talk and a poster! Our alumni Demet Özer gave a talk on her recent work with Tilbe Göksun @tilbegoksun.bsky.social and our graduate student Can Ceylan @scanceylan.bsky.social presented his poster on the relationship between gestures and emotions!

Another fun #cogsci2025 in the books! Thanks to everyone who stopped by the CO-Lab grad student posters! Alessanda Silva on Number-Space mappings & @elijahtramm.bsky.social on Hierarchical grammar learning in monkeys (and humans). Posters still available through Cog. Sci. or reach out for a copy.

The mental simulation adversarial collaboration continues... #cogsci2025

Job announcement 📢 @shawnrhoadsphd.bsky.social and I are looking for a joint postdoc interested in computational models of social interaction! Interested? If you’ll be at #rlc2025 (or I missed you at #cogsci2025) feel free to reach out with any questions! apply.interfolio.com/165809

Salih Can Özdemir, who completed his master’s degree in our lab and is currently pursuing his PhD at the University of California, San Diego, has been elected as a Graduate Student Representative on the Cognitive Science Society Board! @cogscisociety.bsky.social

Our new #cogsci2025 paper led by @maxtaylordavies.bsky.social is a task analysis of agent representation under resource constraints: 🧵

(1/3) Presenting at #CogSci2025 TODAY (Aug 2; Poster P3-W-211): "Expanded Information Capacity in Neural Networks Predicts the Cognitive Evolution Towards Uniquely Human Abstraction":

Happening today after lunch! Stop by W-213 (conveniently placed at the very entrance of the salon, near fresh air!) to hear about positivity biases across individual and social learning #cogsci2025

At 18:30 UK time, I will be presenting my work on learning and exploration across development at the @cogscisociety.bsky.social Glushko Dissertation Prize Session! #CogSci participants can join at this link: underline.io/events/489/s...

Last day at #cogsci2025 and over half the claimed books at the @mitpress.bsky.social booth have already been picked up. Don't forget to stop by and get yours!

Susan Carey mic-drop at #cogsci2025. "There are no innate concepts: Discuss"

Good morning #cogsci2025! Join me at Salon 3 today at 14:15 PDT if you're interested in learning how resource-rational models can help us to capture when and why people become polarized.

@laurennross.bsky.social is giving an important reminder of the importance of philosophy of science in cognitive science at the #cogsci2025 keynote, which I really appreciate in the current moment.

@cogscisociety.bsky.social It’s today at language 6! Please come if you are interested in how emotion, attention, reading comprehension, and goal are intertwined together!

5 important cognitive scientists @cogscisociety.bsky.social #CogSci2025

Josh Tenenbaum's inspiring keynote at #cogsci2025 on growing vs scaling AI, the big questions of cognitive science, and the many open questions for the field.

Antara Bhattacharya in her CogSci #cogsci2025 debut, presenting on The Humorous Hill and doing a smashing job (seen in pic: Antara also printed examples of model outputs for people to chuckle at, or not)

"The Role of Language in Human and Machine Intelligence" 🧠 A dense and thought-provoking symposium at #CogSci2025. Between brain, AI and LLMs: language emerges as both a key and a challenge for understanding intelligence, human and artificial.

Cogsci and AI: two different approaches as articulated by Josh Tenenbaum #cogsci2025

On stage now: Josh Tenenbaum asks how AI can mirror human cognition and what cognitive science can offer AI in return. #CogSci2025 #AI Watch live: underline.io/events/489/m...

They just changed the room for our session on language and intelligence this afternoon to ***Salon 7*** . Find me there at 1pm PT #cogsci2025

At #CogSci2025 and curious about resource-rational models of social cognition? Come to Nob Hill A at 11:14 tomorrow to hear me talk about work with @tadegquillien.bsky.social where we use the information bottleneck to study stereotype use and the outgroup homogeneity bias!

When your poster is too big for the board…enjoying my time at #CogSci2025 🧠

Today at 4 in Salon 2 at @cogscisociety.bsky.social!

TODAY at #CogSci2025 !!!

When people form conventions in reference games, how easy are they for outsiders to interpret? (for values of "outsider" that include naïve humans and vision-language models) Check out @vboyce.bsky.social's poster today at #CogSci2025 to find out. paper: escholarship.org/uc/item/16c4...

Did you know that language shifts in specificity to better support comunication in semi-naturalistic conversations? Check-out our virtual poster presentation 📄🎦 at the @cogscisociety.bsky.social conference! @mariannabolog.bsky.social @gabriellavigliocco.bsky.social @abstractionerc.bsky.social
