  1. 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.

  3. Eric Mandelbaum won the #SPP2023 Stanton Prize. 🎉

    Eric thought Noam Chomsky might attend. So Eric's prize talk was about #propaganda: if it’s getting worse and the (bounded) rationality of our response to it.



    It was very Eric—i.e., very Fodorian and very funny.

    Chaz Firestone’s introduction of Eric was immaculate (ericmandelbaum.com/talks).

    Eric’s work (including recent ventures into empirical research) is on gScholar: scholar.google.com/citations?u

  6. 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".
