Thanks for this entry into cross-cultural sandwich dynamics. This will displace my previous most interesting fact on this topic, which was the use of tubed meat substances in Scandinavian sandwiches (encountered in Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and honestly possibly my fav part. book was weird).

Fascinating! I am personally very interested in the development of relational concepts and children's (and adults') abilities to consider counterfactual propositions. Thanks for sharing this!

Procedural and declarative knowledge simultaneously contribute to category response selection - Psychological Research Skilled behaviour in real-world contexts often relies on a combination of both declarative and procedural learning. However, precisely how declarative and procedural knowledge interact is not yet full...

Memory and Speech Are Their Everyday Struggles. Then They Get to Sing.

Congratulations! You don't know me but I saw you give a talk at Berkeley in the early 2000s. Since then I keep showing people this image from your paper because it's such a great way to show how graded and discrete representations can come out of the same underlying system.
