We're excited to announce that Cog Sci at Dartmouth is recruiting PhD students to work collaboratively between me, Steven Frankland and Fred Callaway. Come study the principles and mechanisms that enable us to understand, plan, and act in the world! Info: https://t.co/QR69geEkWA

[Tadeg Quillien @TadegQuillien]

Our paper on the logic of guesses is now out (w/ @NeilBramley and Chris Lucas).

We provide a new information-theoretic perspective on many phenomena (old and new) in judgment under uncertainty.

🏔️ Brad is lost in the wilderness—but doesn’t know there’s a town nearby. Is he 𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑑 to stay put?

We show that judgments of what’s possible—and whether someone had to act—depend on what agents know. #CogSci2025

Are we “strangers to ourselves”? Classic theories say people have limited insight into how they decide. Our new paper at @NatureComms challenges this view. With @carlsonr_, @hedykober, & @mollycrockett.

Or this, hopefully working, OSF link: https://t.co/weJf5DY8M2

[Jonathan Phillips @phillipsjs]

In a new paper, we demonstrate the perception of possibilities but show that the processes underlying this phenomenon occur before the information reaches high-level cognition. The representation of these possibilities is distinctly perceptual(!) https://t.co/weJf5DY8M2

If the OSF link isn't working for you, try this one: https://t.co/7jj3lx5tIm
