Our paper taking a critical look at *number adaptation* has been accepted at Cognition!

But that's not all: Cognition has also agreed to publish a short back and forth with folks who disagree with us, so stay tuned for that in the near future!

Jessica Cantlon Thanks Jessica Cantlon. Wonderfully insightful read. “What I do best, chart new directions and follow through, would just not be possible anymore at CMU.” 👏👏👏 Lenore Blum.

'I am talking about sexism in the workplace. Subtle biases and micro-aggressions pile up, few of which on their own rise to the level of “let’s take action,” but are insidious nonetheless. Speak up and you’re labeled “difficult.”' -- Lenore Blum

Let’s not forget why she resigned from CMU: nextpittsburgh.com/features/lenor…

My biggest beef with IQ is how much of human cognitive ability it almost completely fails to capture: political cunning, memorization, artistic skill, musical ability and even creative genius. You could literally be world class at any these and still have a pretty average IQ.

The LRC at GSU is hiring a full-time (with benefits) research coordinator who will work with capuchins and rhesus monkeys and coordinate non-invasive, behavioral and cognitive studies. Message me with questions!

Once again we’re reminded of the revolting influence of ‘a few dudes with money’ on science

The inevitable backlash from those seeking to protect and enable ill-gotten and abused power is all the more reason why we cannot stop fighting for change.

Congratulations to Nora Newcombe on election to National Academy of Sciences — what a fantastic psychologist she is.

It’s so depressing when a truly terrible person gets honored by their peers.

Here is the free copy of the article 'Uniquely Human Intelligence arose from Expanded Information Capacity', Nature Reviews Psychology (I think the open Nature link was not working steven t. piantadosi):

Really enjoyed this article on uniquely human cognition -> thank you to Jessica Cantlon & Piantadosi for articulating so eloquently an idea that makes a tonne of sense to me: there are no domain-specific silver bullets when it comes to human cognition. nature.com/articles/s4415…

or ya know, it can make my point. In the style of RuPaul Enjoy (1st out, 1 line prompt)

I could not possibly be more excited to announce that in Summer 2025, I'll be joining the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at UMass Amherst (UMass PBS) as an Assistant Professor in the Cognition & Cognitive Neuroscience Area.

Seems they process numerosity separated from continuous magnitudes, at least some of the time - like monkeys and numerous (pun intended) other species. Kudos to the authors for never claiming this was counting, despite the review title. Curious what Jessica Cantlon thinks.

An incredible synthesis of an immense amount of important and foundational work.

Just under one week to apply for the Primate Cognition and the Child Development Lab Manager Positions!

I wanted to highlight one piece of this paper that is especially relevant to language research. A lot of work has sought to understand whether nonhuman primates can learn hierarchical grammars / context free languages.

But did you know...
