Excel didn’t kill accountants; it gave them better tools. Yet, with AI, we’ve abandoned this logic in favor of a collective fantasy. We’re treating a sophisticated calculator as a human replacement rather than a human multiplier.

Professor James O’Shea, Head of #Philosophy at @[email protected], talking at the Robert Boyle Winter School at Dublin #RDS on the nature of mind and matter. #PhilMind

Adopted and donor-conceived children were way less likely to confound nature and nurture than traditionally-conceived kids (ages 4 to 8).

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 And this difference wasn’t explained by differences in parents.

How's the Language of Thought hypothesis doing? 

Alex Madva reports, “the downfall of [alternative] models has not occasioned the uncontested reign of propositional alternatives. Leading propositional theorists continue to uncover effects more naturally explained by nonpropositional processes, or at least uneasily assimilated into prevailing propositional theories...". https://doi.org/10.1017/S0140525X23001851

The "One, but not the same" results that we detected in English speakers (https://doi.org/10.1007/s11098-021-01739-5) replicated 6 times in Lithuanian speakers (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2023.105545).

When people read about morally altered people being "different, they [thought] the person [wa]s qualitatively transformed, but numerically intact."

Teresa McCormack closed the #SPP2023 #preconference on #memory with “The value of remembering and anticipating experiences: a developmental perspective”

It was—as Teresa put it—dangerously close to an #xPhi talk. It adapted a famous thought experiment (from Derek Parfit?) to test kids’ and adults’ intuitions about how much we care about past, present, or future versions of us.

Tamar Kushnir’s #SPP2023 presidential address tried to answer, “When do children become responsible for moral decisions?”

Evidence suggests people’s opinions vary by culture, as do laws, but there’s evidence that kids develop the ability to understand moral aspects of decisions (including that some decisions seem to be moral).

Melissa Kibbe shared “Function Arithmetic Computations Over Pre-Symbolic Representations of Quantity in Infants and Children” at #SPP2023:

Research with Cheng empirically distinguished nonsymbolic arithmetic (noticing one physical object is placed next to another) from symbolic arithmetic (1+1=2) are algorithmically distinct, which may limit transfer from nonsymbolic arithmetic formal math.

Caren Walker presented "Children Consider Future Learning Goals During Information Search" with/for Liz Lapidow (who was sick, absent).

Puzzle: evidence is mixed about whether kids are "intuitive scientists" or bad at scientific thinking (controlling for variables).

Modified task suggested kids *can be* intuitive scientists when the task dissociates different goals that kids might have during the task.

Isaac Davis presented "Inferring the Internal Structure of Social Collectives".

Isaac, Yarrow Dunham, and Julian Jara-Ettinger designed social vignettes to test their computational model of how people infer social structure (e.g., hierarchies) from a domain-general statistical learning mechanism and domain-specific social knowledge.

They think 2 experiments "support our account".

#ImplicitBias isn’t “unconscious”?

“…participants in all 17 studies were able to accurately predict the patterns of their IAT results (…b = .44) …across samples, settings [online vs. in-person lab studies], countries …, and languages…. [These] results strengthen the hypothesis that cognitions reflected on implicit evaluations are accessible to conscious awareness.”
