Dear All,
The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following talk.
Hannes Rakoczy<https://www.psych.uni-goettingen.de/en/development/team/rakoczy-hannes/hann…> (University of Göttingen)
Title: Coming to think about thoughts –developments in preschoolers’ modal and meta-cognition
Abstract: Children implicitly represent the modal status of thought very early: They imagine what is merely possible, for example, and keep imagination (of what is merely possible) and judgment (of what is real) separate. Similarly, they track their own epistemic status such as their knowledge or ignorance. But how do children, over development, come to represent the modal status of thoughts more explicitly? Here, I will report several lines of new research from our lab on children’s emerging explicit modal and meta-cognition, and on their potential relations. In the realm of modal thought, one possibility that we are currently investigating is that a, perhaps the, primordial form of modal thinking pertains to agentive modality: thinking about what one can do (rather than what may be the case). In the realm of meta-cognition, one possibility is that a, perhaps the, primordial form of meta-cognition is social: representing one’s own state of knowledge or ignorance for the sake of communicating it in social coordination and cooperation. Finally, I will report new studies that explore the developmental relations of modal and meta-cognition.
Date: Wednesday, May 7, 2025
Time: 4 pm (to 5:30 pm) CET

Dear Colleagues,
Due to a scheduling conflict, we have to shift the 16th annual BCCCD meeting in Budapest, Hungary to one week later, January 15–17, 2026. All the deadlines regarding the conference remain the same (see below). We are sorry for this inconvenience.
INVITED SPEAKERS
Amanda Seed<https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/psychology-neuroscience/people/ams18/> (University of St Andrews)
Lisa Feigenson<https://pbs.jhu.edu/directory/lisa-feigenson/> (Johns Hopkins University)
Luca Bonatti<https://www.icrea.cat/community/icreas/17630/luca-bonatti/> (Universitat Pompeu Fabra)
Alongside our invited program, we welcome symposium, talk, and poster submissions reporting studies from all fields of cognitive development. Previous BCCCD meetings featured a wide range of topics, such as communication, pragmatics, social cognition, conceptual development, language acquisition, numeracy, object cognition, perceptual learning, inductive learning, memory, executive function, metacognition, cognitive bases of culture, and comparative cognition.
We will have a single deadline for all symposium, talk, and poster submissions. Authors can elect to have talk submissions considered for posters as well. You can find the timeline of the submission and review process below or at this link: https://bcccd.org/timeline.htm
We also welcome proposals for half-day pre-conference workshops or tutorials relevant to the BCCCD audience.
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission opens: June 20, 2025
Submission deadline: September 5, 2025
Pre-conference workshop submission deadline: October 3, 2025
Notification of decision*: November 3, 2025
Registration opens: November 4, 2025
*For authors who require a visa to attend, we can provide a letter to support your visa application shortly after the submission deadline.
We expect to hold BCCCD26 entirely in-person in Budapest. While CEU has relocated much of its operations to Vienna, we would like to reassure all prospective participants that we are committed to maintaining the tradition of the Budapest campus of CEU as the site of BCCCD meetings in 2026 and for the foreseeable future. We hope to see you there!

Dear All,
The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Center for Cognitive Computation invites you to the following online talk titled: Updating, Evidence Evaluation, and Operator Availability: A Framework for Understanding Belief
Speaker: Joseph Sommer (Princeton)<https://uchv.princeton.edu/people/joseph-sommer>
Abstract: How does human belief work? In contrast to the normative assumption that people update their beliefs via Bayes’ rule, psychologists have documented belief phenomena which appear at odds with Bayesian updating. Moreover, the fact that people often arrive at disparate beliefs in domains from politics to science may seem difficult to account for on the assumption that beliefs aim at truth. Such considerations have led to the postulation of irrational, a-rational, and instrumentally rational belief processes to explain human belief. In this talk, I suggest that conclusions of non-Bayesian updating are too hasty. I argue that beliefs are the outputs of multiple cognitive processes and, as such, understanding belief requires distinguishing between updating, narrowly construed, and a series of additional psychological processes involved in human belief. I introduce a novel framework which situates these processes in three levels of nested influence. At Level 1, belief updating is suggested to be approximately Bayesian and more sensitive to evidence than it is usually given credit for. At Level 2, an additional set of processes evaluates evidence and determines what information is presented to Level 1 for updating. Level 2 processes share two characteristics: they are necessarily heuristic and fallible, as well as cognitively penetrable (Pylyshyn, 1999) to desires and goals. Finally, at Level 3, factors including information representation and individual differences imply different operators (Newell & Simon, 1972) to evidence evaluation processes at Level 2. By manipulating Level 2 processes, people may “steer” their updating mechanisms toward particular subsets of evidence and thereby alter the beliefs they come to possess. This framework offers a nuanced and principled account of human belief which specifies where and under what circumstances irrationality may enter the picture.
