Please share widely- we are aiming for a broad range of applicants! Completed applications due Jan 4 (including references!!)

🚨 Very excited that Dartmouth's Society of Fellows is hiring a postdoc with the Program in Cognitive Science - Specialization in computational and empirical approaches to artificial and natural intelligence, e.g., perception, representation, and planning! apply.interfolio.com/176946

We're excited to announce that Cog Sci at Dartmouth is recruiting PhD students to work collaboratively between me, Steven Frankland and Fred Callaway. Come study the principles and mechanisms that enable us to understand, plan, and act in the world! Info: sites.dartmouth.edu/cogscigrad/

Our paper on the logic of guesses is now out (w/ @NeilBramley and Chris Lucas). We provide a new information-theoretic perspective on many phenomena (old and new) in judgment under uncertainty. 🧵

In the second most important election happening today, I'm on the slate for the potential new members of the governing board for the Cognitive Science Society! If you're a member, check your email for a link to vote and #DontRankCuomo

🏔️ Brad is lost in the wilderness—but doesn’t know there’s a town nearby. Is he 𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑑 to stay put? We show that judgments of what’s possible—and whether someone had to act—depend on what agents know. #CogSci2025 🔗osf.io/preprints/psya… w/ @MMandelkern and @phillipsjs

So excited that Fred Callaway will be coming to join us at Dartmouth!! Dartmouth Cognitive Science is quickly growing into a group of amazing colleagues that I feel lucky to have around and think with! His announcement here: bsky.app/profile/fredca…

Are we “strangers to ourselves”? Classic theories say people have limited insight into how they decide. Our new paper at @NatureComms challenges this view. With @carlsonr_, @hedykober, & @mollycrockett. nature.com/articles/s4146… 🧵

Or this, hopefully working, OSF link: osf.io/preprints/psya…

If the OSF link isn't working for you, try this one: dataverse.harvard.edu/file.xhtml?fil…

In a new paper, we demonstrate the perception of possibilities but show that the processes underlying this phenomenon occur before the information reaches high-level cognition. The representation of these possibilities is distinctly perceptual(!) osf.io/preprints/psya…

@guscooney @dartmouth Can't wait to have you as a colleague!
