Thrilled to be sharing my latest work at #CogSci2026! Many of the spaces we move through, from kitchens to airports, were designed with specific uses in mind. How do people create such environments, and how do users figure out what they were designed for? 📃 osf.io/preprints/ps...

Excited to be sharing my latest work with @tobigerstenberg.bsky.social at #CogSci2025! Learning usually occurs when we encounter new data. But we also have the capacity to reflect on our past experiences. What can we learn from simulating past experience? 📃 cicl.stanford.edu/papers/yang2... 1/
Excited to share our new work at #CogSci2025! We explore how people plan deceptive actions, and how detectives try to see through the ruse and infer what really happened based on the traces left behind. 🕵️♀️ Paper: osf.io/preprints/osf/vqgz5_v1 Code: github.com/cicl-stanford/recursive_deception 1/
Excited to be visiting Boston College today to give a talk on "Counterfactual simulation in causal cognition".
