I’m recruiting PhD students to join the Computational Minds and Machines Lab at the University of Washington in Seattle! Join us to work at the intersection of computational cognitive science and AI with a broad focus on social intelligence. (Please reshare!)

(1/5) Very excited to announce the publication of Bayesian Models of Cognition: Reverse Engineering the Mind. More than a decade in the making, it's a big (600+ pages) beautiful book covering both the basics and recent work: mitpress.mit.edu/9780262049412/…

There are many moral setbacks in the world: wars, violence, harmful policies. Yet, many of us still try to create change. Why? Now out in Cognitive Science, with Tania Lombrozo and Sana Asifriyaz! doi.org/10.1111/cogs.7…

We updated this preprint (osf.io/preprints/psya…) with a new study investigating sources of this yes-no framing bias and amplified omission bias in LLM moral decision-making. Results suggest that they likely arise from fine-tuning for chatbot applications. Maximilian Maier 🔍 Falk Lieder

This summer: A week of JASP Statistics hybrid workshops: - Discovering Statistics using JASP - Bayesian Hypothesis Testing with JASP - Machine Learning with JASP - State-of-the-Art Meta-Analysis with JASP (see full details at jasp-stats.org/workshops/, ECs for students available)

New preprint w/ Maximilian Maier 🔍, Harry Coulson & Falk Lieder: Telling people their global income rank (RBN) increased charitable donations. Also explored RBN’s effect on perceived global income distribution + whether asking how much others should donate increased giving (IDT) 🧵…

New preprint w/ Maximilian Maier 🔍, Vanessa Cheung, Fiery Cushman, & Falk Lieder: Disentangling Model-Based and Model-Free Moral Learning doi.org/10.31234/osf.i… Excited to present this work at #CogSci2025!

Excited to share that our paper is now published in PNAS! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

The new version of JASP (0.95) containing another significant update to the Meta-Analysis module is out. You can perform state-of-the-art Bayesian publication bias-adjusted meta-regression in only a few clicks. A couple of additional clicks get you publication-ready figures!

Join us tomorrow, for a presentation of our work (with Maximilian Maier 🔍, Vanessa Cheung , Fiery Cushman, Falk Lieder) on disentangling model-based and model-free moral Learning. Paper: escholarship.org/uc/item/8p05c2…

People in rich countries often underestimate how wealthy they are globally. A new study finds that a simple nudge correcting this misperception increases generosity. Research by Glen Spiteri, Maximilian Maier 🔍, Harry Coulson, & Falk Lieder: escholarship.org/uc/item/0wm7t7…

In this article, Maier et al. show that metacognitive learning from consequences can shape moral decision-making. Maximilian Maier 🔍 Vanessa Cheung Falk Lieder The Rational Altruism Lab nature.com/articles/s4156…
