Thrilled that this paper is finally out – we compared child homesigners against speakers of English, Spanish, and Chinese and found common patterns across all groups in how they described pictures of events. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
Cognitive Scientists of the Eastern Great Lakes: on July 28-29 in Buffalo, @BayesForDays and I are hosting a satellite meeting for the @cogsci_soc conference! Folks can present their work, watch talks, and generally hang out. Register at: acsu.buffalo.edu/~cxjacobs/c…
Hey CogPsych folks - what’s a reference for a categorization study w/o labels, eg: given three pictures belonging to a category (chair, desk, table) does a fourth picture (lamp) also belong to the category? Or, do two pictures (chair, desk) belong to the same category?
@glupyan and I are especially interested in studies that do this type of task and without labels (eg furniture). Koemeda-Lutz (1987, Brain & Language) did this but only w brain-damaged ppl.

Light verbs implies the existence of the more sinister dark verbs, which drain the words around them of any semantic content

Coming up in two weeks, a conference bringing together fields that have too long been siloed off from each other:
- work on agency within linguistics
- work on agency in philosophy/psychology
Conference is on zoom, and attendance is free

Any good essays out there on philosophy of undergrad grades? Thinking through how I will convey to my class next semester what an ‘A’ grade means to me
Is core knowledge accessible to conscious awareness? Not necessarily. Work with @glupyan just published in JEP:G psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d…
And DM me if you want an invite to the event cognition slack!
