@ispsm.bsky.socialEarly-career researchers are especially welcome. We want everyone to leave with concrete strategies for translating concepts between fields and for identifying the misunderstandings that tend to stall interdisciplinary collaborations.
@mzettersten.bsky.socialOur department at UC San Diego is hiring a new tenure-track Assistant Professor. Open area, research addressing foundational issues in cogsci using modern computational methods. I love my department, and you will too. Apply!!

@deansforimpact.bsky.socialHow do students learn to take charge of their own learning? Drawing on the latest #cogsci research, the Science of Learning, 2nd Ed. breaks down 3 principles for how teachers can support students to learn more effectively and independently over time.

@amartinezm.bsky.socialWe usually think of LLM surprisal as a property of a text. But does it also capture something stable about the person producing it? Our results suggest that it does. I’d be very interested to hear where others think this could be useful. #CogSci #AcademicSky

This includes a course I have taught a couple of terms ago on "Topics in Philosophy of Memory" at LMU Munich.

@niklasbuergi.bsky.socialAutism has long been linked to difficulties with Theory of Mind.
But what exactly is driving these differences? And what happens in the brain?
In our new preprint, we show that adaptive mentalization might be key.
@alejandrofabregastejeda.com@epiphenomenal.bsky.socialMy new hobby is every time Anthropic publishes that they have found [INSERT A COGSCI/PHILOSOPHY CONCEPT], to write a paper on why they did, in fact, not.
It's basically an unlimited well of inspiration.
