Very excited that this paper with @mgreenephd.bsky.social is out! Check out the thread below for what we found out about how participant height changes the nature of visual input and subsequent perception. #visionscience

Michelle Greene@mgreenephd.bsky.social · 2w ago

🚨New paper alert! 🚨 The visual system tunes itself to the statistics of its input. How do individual experiences differently tune vision? In this work, @bjbalas.bsky.social and I examined how one individual difference—height—changes the visual diet and how this affects perception. 1/

🚨 I have just signed this petition to keep the Cognitive Science program at Aarhus University (@au.dk) international. Please consider reading, boosting, and signing too. ✍️ The students will be grateful! This petition is on their initiative. 🙏 omnibus.au.dk/en/archive/s...

OPINION: AU wants international talent – but is closing the door on them at Cognitive Science

Students and alumni at Cognitive Science urge the Senior Management Team to reopen the decision to convert the Bachelor’s programme in Cognitive Science to Danish. Why should Arts be left without an E...

Now out in an issue! Children find it easier to represent uncertainty about *what* an object is than *where* an object is, with interesting implications for both early possibility reasoning and object representations ~~ Check it out 👉 direct.mit.edu/opmi/article...

Children’s Representations of Possibility: Uncertainty About “What” Is Easier Than Uncertainty About “Where”

Abstract. Young children struggle in situations involving mere possibility, such as when a target object could be in one of two possible locations. This difficulty is often interpreted as a general li...

New paper in Open Mind! 2-to-4-year-olds find it easier to reason about an object's possible identity than its possible location, and we argue this asymmetry traces back to the architecture of early object representations. 🧵

In my recent Intro Psych lectures on cognitive psychology, I didn’t have time to delve into its history. It’s a fascinating story. Instead, I referred students to my supplemental online lecture on its background and origin, which plays as a YouTube playlist. Check it out here. Feel free to share.

This @cp-neuron.bsky.social neuroview paper of the brilliant @ji-joan-lin.bsky.social on the neural basis of aesthetics provides a conceptual cornerstone for an ongoing series of impressive empirical studies in which we unveil the multidimensional nature of aesthetic experience.

🚨 Very happy to share our *Neuron* paper: Rethinking neuroaesthetics authors.elsevier.com/a/1miuj3BtfH... With @hansopdebeeck.bsky.social & Johan Wagemans, we argue that neuroaesthetics should move beyond a focus on beauty alone and embrace the multidimensional nature of aesthetic experience.

When you look around, you see a world full of objects. But can you fully identify multiple objects at once? In this new study, we revived and updated a classic experimental test: the redundant target paradigm. link.growkudos.com/1elj6rh9o8w doi.org/10.1037/xhp0...
