Conniving With Continuations: Representing Goals in a Domain‐Specific Language of Thought
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Wanting composes flexibly with knowing: we can want to know, want to know what someone wants, and so on. In this paper, we develop a goal representation that allows for this type of rich integration between goals and other theory‐of‐mind concepts.

Charting New Paths in the Study of Kin Term Acquisition
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Kin terms appear among infants’ earliest words, yet a full mastery of kin concepts typically emerges only in late childhood. This prolonged developmental trajectory reflects not only children's acquisition of an abstract relational system of words, but also their growing understanding of social relationships and interactional norms.

Preschoolers’ Sensitivity to Abstract Relations Among Sets
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract In two studies, we test preschoolers’ ability to compare abstract relationships across sets. In Experiments 1a−1d, we show that both older (4‐ and 5‐year‐olds) and younger (3‐year‐olds) preschoolers successfully match both monotonic and symmetric relationships in visual patterns and succeed both in direct relational matches and inverted ones ...

From Odors to Colors: Sensory Perception in Neurodiverse Mexican Youth
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Previous work has shown that humans make consistent associations between odor and color. However, neurodiverse individuals, especially those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), perceive and interpret sensory information differently from their neurotypical peers.

Words and Scents: How Language Shapes and Skews Olfactory Processing
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Research on language and olfaction presents a paradox. Language appears to support the formation of odor categories, yet it can also hinder odor recognition through verbal interference, highlighting that different olfactory processes get affected in distinct ways.

An Introduction to Rational Constructivism in Cognitive Development
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Rational constructivism is a contemporary theory of cognitive development. It proposes that children generate, tweak, and radically revise theories, beliefs, and representations by integrating evidence with existing knowledge via probabilistic inferential learning mechanisms.

There Is More Than Meets the Eye: The Dual Role of Perception in Shaping Color Lexicons
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Color's ultimate physical reality is continuous, and yet human beings “cut” this continuum into a rather small number of categories reflected in their languages’ color lexicon. There are striking cross‐linguistic differences in the color lexicon, which are primarily attributed to differences in communicative needs, but also striking ...

Limits to Language Prediction: Findings From Diverse Populations
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract For a model in cognitive science to adequately explain cognitive processes across different populations, empirical findings from diverse participant groups are essential. This paper selectively reviews studies that investigated prediction in different populations and discusses what they reveal about the mechanisms and role of language ...

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Crossmodal associations with odors have the potential to aid in odor perception and language. In addition, identifying the dimensions that drive odor crossmodal associations may help understand the critical dimensions underlying odor perception more generally.
