Looking at Van Gogh’s Starry Night, we see not only its content (a French village beneath a night sky) but also its *style*. How does that work? How do we see style? In @nathumbehav.nature.com, @chazfirestone.bsky.social & I take an experimental approach to style perception! osf.io/preprints/ps...

Sam Clarke and I have been writing a lot about adaptation -- what it is, what it isn't, what it reveals about perception. We've just released a preprint that pushes the boundaries of adaptation even further. We document spatially selective adaptation to arbitrary *value*. philpapers.org/rec/CLACWS

I'm really, really excited about our recent paper on children's understanding of topological spatial relations (w/ Lily Goldstein and Liz Brannon). I've linked the paper here, but I'll summarize the thread below. direct.mit.edu/opmi/article...

Watch this video. Do you remember seeing a ball in the second half of the video? Up to 37% of our participants reported seeing a ball, even though it wasn’t there. Why? In a new paper in press @ Cognition, Brent Strickland and I ask what causes event completion. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Suppose you generated a sequence of 100 random numbers. Then one year later, you did it again. Do you think we could predict one sequence from the other? It turns out, we can! Now in press @ JEP:G with @samiyousif.bsky.social @actlab.bsky.social @robbrutledge.bsky.social; osf.io/preprints/ps...

Which is more complex: A bicycle or a car? Object complexity comes in many different kinds — such as visual, mechanistic, and more. How are these kinds related? Now out @ JEP:G, Frank Keil and I argue that mechanistic complexity is fundamental. psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-...
