MathPsych/ICCM 2018
From July 21-24, the 51st Annual Meeting of the Society for Mathematical Psychology was jointly held with the 16th International Conference on Cognitive Modeling in the wonderfully scenic UW – Madison Memorial Terrace.
During the first afternoon of talks, Jeff presented his work on a noisy censored
random walk model of memory retrieval that accounts for fluency data with
perseverations. 
Early on the second day, Xian described his work on modelling category
generation and learning data with contrast based models. 
Special shoutout goes to our lab head Joe, who was one of the organizers of this conference, without whom the conference would not have been the success that it was.
CogSci 2018
The 40th Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society was held in the larger (but no less picturesque) Monona Terrace from July 25-28.
On the final day of talks, Joe presented his work with Nicole on how human
performance in a constrained semantic memory task can be explained with a simple
random walk model. 
With an impressive closure of this conference, the final poster session featured recent work by our undergraduate lab members!
Kendra succinctly demonstrated evidence against a bilingual advantage in the
domain of creativity. 
In a particularly attention-grabbing poster, Jackie illustrated how she modeled
attributes and relations in emojis within a Bayesian generalization
framework.
Thank you to all who attended, presented, and volunteered for these events!
