35 years of studies argue that kids assume word meanings are mutually exclusive.
In @PsychScience, @gaborbrody, Athulya Aravind, and I argue kids aren't making an assumption. We show 2y.o. only think words are mutually exclusive when they're told so. 1/

Curious about pursuing a graduate degree in Cognitive Science or Psychology?
Join us for our Virtual Graduate Program Preview, hosted by the Department of Cognitive Science and Psychology at Brown University.
Mark D'Esposito draws on a half-century of research, as well as insights gained in his lab, to break down our current understanding of frontal lobe function and working memory. @JOCN_Journal#SfN24#Neuroscience https://t.co/3ExEmCMKcm
It's an honour to have been selected to deliver this fantastic mini-symposium during the #SFN24
Our speakers are ready to show:
🥰 how the cerebellum is enrolled in much more than motor tasks
📡 how it communicates with other brain areas
⚕️ its roles in health and disease
I'm recruiting PhD students to join my new lab at Brown! Please apply if you're interested in judgment and decision-making, social+cognitive psych, or using games/experiments/computational models to understand human behavior. Apps due Dec 1! More info: https://t.co/ASZvt1reN5
Check out our review on how the prefrontal cortex integrates memory systems across timescales to guide adaptive behavior! And we detail the many plastic changes observed in PFC with learning and training, from single neurons to brain-wide activity patterns
We have a new preprint with @kazuhi_s_ , Takahiro Nishio, and @BadreLab! “Practice Reshapes the Geometry and Dynamics of Task-tailored Representations.” https://t.co/DXj7G8JpAl
Come join us!
Our department @BrownCLPS at @BrownUniversity is hiring up to 2 candidates in an open area.
Assistant or Associate Professor in Cognitive and Psychological Sciences.
More info and apply here: https://t.co/gwDwwNVoti
Cognitive and Psychological Sciences at Brown is searching for two hires at the Assistant or Associate level! Research area is Open but should address one of three themes: AI and the Mind, Collective Cognition, or Mental & Brain Health See🧵. To apply: https://t.co/yD6vYts2IR
Mental and brain health translates basic scientific theory to diseases and disorders, using neuroimaging, bioinformatics, cognitive, and computational psychiatry methods, leveraging new tools in areas like digital health, or seeking to understand the social determinants of health
Collective Cognition investigates how local interactions between individuals produce global patterns of organization. Could include distributed knowledge and the spread of misinformation, inter-personal and human-robot coordination, dynamics of social networks, or neural networks
The relational bottleneck as an inductive bias for efficient abstraction
