🚨New preprint!🚨 My first first-author project with Cameron Rouse Turner Natalia Vélez (natvelali.bsky.social @ 🦋) Griffiths Computational Cognitive Science Lab How do people evaluate idle collaborators who don’t help out during group tasks? TL;DR: Sometimes it’s okay not to help with the dishes 🧵👇 Link: tinyurl.com/32wfwkxp

How should you take into account what other people think? Our new paper shows that a simple Bayesian model can capture how people make inferences from aggregated opinions.

We've now got the full range of data comparing people w GPT4 on semantic judgments of backgroundedness and acceptability judgments of long-distance dependencies: r > .80 Few if any stimuli in training data, most are unacceptable to varying degrees

📢 I am reviewing apps for the PhD program UCLA psychology (Social and Affective Neuroscience & Behavioral Neuroscience areas). You can learn more about my lab (Castrellon Lab) here: castrellonlab.psych.ucla.edu - come study decision making in the brain with us!

My lab in Haifa is hiring PhD/Post-doc to work on the cognitive basis of social norms. We will use multiplayer computer games, computational models of behavior and multiagent RL simulations. e.g. osf.io/6fw42 . Send CV to [email protected]

*Very* excited for this paper-led by amazing Cameron Martel (on the job market!)-to be out. He validates a scale for trust in fact-checkers & presents experiments w 14k subjects showing that fact-checker warnings reduce misinfo belief + sharing even among those low in trust!

Join us in Philadelphia at the 8th iteration of the conference on mathematical theory of deep neural networks deepmath, submit to DeepMath . Deadline is September 14th . All details about submission guidelines are here : deepmath-conference.com
