Why are some futures harder to imagine, explain or understand? We wondered too — so we built a methodology to measure how people think about future scenarios (and how much effort it takes). 🚀 Excited to share that our FutureVision paper was accepted to #CogSci2025! Curious?👇 arxiv.org/pdf/2502.01597

Fantastic discussion today in my Lang&Cognition grad seminar at UFJF! We kicked off our exploration of how human cognition shapes our thinking about the future with the Decode the Future game by Future Today @amywebb.bsky.social. The seminar is a test flight of FutureMind, my book w/ Mark Turner.

AI chatbots 🤖 are a hot topic 🔥 But what if we shift the conversation from what they can do with language to what they can do for the Linguist? That’s the topic of our new Cambridge University Press book Copilots for Linguists: AI, Constructions, and Frames. DOWNLOAD FOR FREE 🧵👇

Multimodal AI is the newest kid on the block. But how do the kinds of datasets used to train them and NLProc methods involved in building them correlate to limitations on their performance? That’s the big Q I intend to answer in my talk at ICMC2023! cognitivescience.hunnu.edu.cn/ICMC2023/hom...
