[Tia Gong @Tianwei_Gong]

This idea was discussed on my first day arriving in Edinburgh, and is published on the day I am submitting the "hard-bound" version of my PhD thesis. A great, grateful day❤️❤️❤️

[Causal Cognition Lab @causalcognition]

[3/n] of course, our very own members, Nine Adler, Calvin Deans-Browne, Felix Neubauer and Christos Bechlivanidis also presented their superbly exciting ongoing work, which you can follow via our new website https://t.co/3yVzrrOz5v

[Causal Cognition Lab @causalcognition]

It's been a while since we updated lab news, though throughout Jan to March we've had the honour of hosting many wonderful speakers - inc. David Danks (integrated account of causal perception and inference); @mavadillo on the "in"-flexibility of attention biases; ... [1/n]

[Causal Cognition Lab @causalcognition]

[2/n] @dgkamper on decaying intentionality judgements in the causal and legal domain; and Samantha Kleinberg @HealthAI_Lab on conspiracy theories and causal reasoning

[Neil Bramley @NeilBramley]

Edinburgh is hiring a CompCogSci Lecturer (Assistant Prof w tenure) or Reader (Assoc Prof w tenure). Come work in the best city in the world (https://t.co/r7APOXmYdk) and help grow & integrate Ed's fantastic cog sci community. Apply here: https://t.co/pb35GAValq

I tried this a few times, and ChatGPT consistently answers double-prevention cases differently than humans (1/3):

in need of a holiday read? why not join milu - seen here pondering whether he's capable of causal inference - in learning about mental models and legal reasoning! brought to you by @david_lagnado with descending bass lines on top

[Paul Henne @paul_henne]

I have an #RStats question. I am using lavaan sem() to run a serial mediation. The indirect effects should be equal to the product of the mediator estimates. For my results—and just about every example I see—the results are close to this, but not exact. Anyone know why?

[UCL Psych & Lang Sci @UCLPALS]

Want to study the #brain & #human #behaviour in the real-world using new methods & #digitaltechnology ( #VR, #fMRI, #WearableTech & more)? Apply for one of our @ucl studentships! Deadline is 9th January 2023. More information here: https://t.co/cFGMe8N2hJ

[Experimental Philosophy @xphilosopher]

Why exactly do we punish negligence?

New paper from @SarinArunima and @fierycushman argues: we are blaming the agent for not having certain *thoughts*. Connects up with much larger issues about how people's values impact what comes to their minds

[Experimental Philosophy @xphilosopher]

This is a really unique conference, bringing together philosophers and psychologists working on action (intentional action, free will, etc.) with linguists working on action (in syntax and semantics)

10/10 would recommend. Submissions due Jan. 5!

It was truly fantastic to have @the_mindwanders for an excellent talk on DMN, mind wandering and narratives. Thanks again Jonathan from all of us!

@david_lagnado @BonanZhao @tobigerstenberg we have all but a drummer!

[Causal Cognition Lab @causalcognition]

excellent lecture series on causal inference - not to be missed!

[Richard McElreath 🐈‍⬛ @rlmcelreath]

Statistical Rethinking 2022 Complete Course is complete. 20 lectures from foundations of causal & Bayesian inference through DAGS, multilevel models & poststratified causal effects to Gaussian processes, Bayesian imputation & ODEs. Theatrical trailer: https://t.co/zadmoRUNmf

more resources for our causal cognition community!

Learning or teaching #causalinference?

✨ Here are some highlights from our new causal inference glossary ✨

This would've been a lifesaver when I first started wading through the dense and impostor-syndrome-inducing causal inference lit
