The lab has submitted three wonderful abstracts to this year's 4th Multidisciplinary Conference on Reinforcement Learning and Decision Making at the McGill University in Montréal. They introduce research around our intelligent cognitive tutor and cover aspects of overcoming present bias, inspecting cognitive decline, and a process-related approach to trace the evolution of planning skills. We keep our fingers crossed!
We have submitted a great set of papers to this year's 41st Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society (CogSci) in Montreal. A historic moment for the lab! We will continue this proud tradition in the years to come.

Gabriela Iwama has joined our lab for an internship on the development of psychometric measures of cognitive growth. She is currently working towards her bachelor degree in Psychology at the University of Brasília. Welcome Gabriela!
Mateo Tosic has joined our lab as student assistant focusing on software and web development. He is a bachelor student of Computational Linguistics at the University of Tübingen. Welcome Mateo!
Our postdoc Maria Wirzberger successfully defended her Ph.D. thesis at the TU Chemnitz. We are proud of her outstanding result of summa cum laude! Well done Maria, you did a great job!
Behavioral and Brain Sciences has accepted our target article “Resource-rational analysis: understanding human cognition as the optimal use of limited computational resources”. According to the editor we have set a new record with our 53 page long response to the reviewers!
Good news! Our paper “Doing more with less: Meta-reasoning and meta-learning in humans and machines” has been accepted for publication in Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences.
Maria Wirzberger has joined our lab as a postdoc. Her work will primarily focus on executive functions training and intelligent cognitive tutors. She holds a multidisciplinary background that spans psychology, education, and computer science and recently submitted her Ph.D. thesis at TU Chemnitz. Welcome Maria!
Lin Xu has joined our lab for an internship on incentivizing self-directed learning with optimal brain points. She studied human-computer-interaction at the University of Munich and received her master’s degree in 2018. Welcome Lin!
From September 3-6, 2018 the 14th biannual conference of the German Society for Cognitive Science (GK) was held at the Technische Universität Darmstadt. Contributing to the main topic of the conference "Computational Approaches to Cognitive Science", we presented our work on cognitive tutors, which won the best poster award!
