Last chance to enter the 2026 CogSci Mind Challenge! Video? Podcast? Animation? Visual explainer? Blog post? You choose the format! Deadline for proposals is NEXT WEEK, August 26! cognitivesciencesociety.org/cogsci-mind-challenge

I always wondered what the point of going to conferences was. Finally figured it out this year at @cogscisociety.bsky.social and CCN: to maximize the number of interesting, fulfilling scientific conversations! Had such a blast in Rio and NYC, will cherish all the convos I had :)

Have an idea for communicating cognitive science? There’s still time to submit it to the CogSci Mind Challenge 2026. 🗓️ Deadline: August 26

Wonderful keynote by @hyogweon.bsky.social at #cogsci2026 on "Distinctively human intelligence: Thinking, learning, and communicating about the self". Hyo argues that better understanding how people think about the self is a key ingredient for uncovering what makes us intelligent.

📢 Fabian Parth has presented his poster at #CogSci2026! Congrats Fabi! 🎉

Presenting our work today at #CogSci2026 🎉 Our findings reveal interesting similarities, and important differences, in how humans and modern AI systems explore causal structures. If you're at the conference, come by and say hello! Today 5:30–7:00pm Reasoning session, P3-L-104

We recently investigated how humans and AI reason through causal rules: arxiv.org/abs/2606.06464 Accepted at #CogSci2026. We gave adults and LLMs agency to actively experiment using a Blicket causal game, breaking down their process into the iterative loop shown in the following figure:
