I study belief in Santa (among other things). I keep getting asked if parents lying to their children about Santa is connected to adoption of conspiracy beliefs.

Here's a quick thread on the topic:

Pylyshyn was a hero of mine, and as important as any other figure in the past 50 years of cognitive science. it's hard to express how much his work has meant to me and to many other researchers across cogsci and philosophy. here's a wonderful paragraph by Brian Scholl from 2009:

Zenon Pylyshyn (1937-2022) has passed away. A titan in the field of cognitive science, he made foundational contributions to our understanding of perception, attention, and imagery, and was a major influence in the development (and defense) of the Computational Theory of Mind.
