  • 20 | How do emotions impact cognition?
    Nov 8 2024

    What are emotions and how do they impact cognition? We sit down with philosopher Juliette Vazard to talk about what we can learn from our emotions, the relationship between emotions and beliefs, and how emotions can shape our behavior. We cover everything from learning and curiosity, to the epistemic value of emotional states, to their impact on how we relate to the world.

    Joining me as a co-host is philosopher Maria Fedorova, our guest on Episode 17.

  • 19 | Manipulating memory: How event structure impacts recall
    Oct 23 2024

    Does everybody experience memory in the same way? We sit down with Andreas Arslan to chat about what we spontaneously imagine when we read or actively remember, and how everything from inferring causal relationships to the salience of symbols can impact recall. We also talk about how the structure of experience impacts and possibly even determines what and how we remember.

  • 18 | On Symbols: Constructing reality and reconstructing memory
    Oct 10 2024

    How do we use symbols to construct and reconstruct our internal realities? We sit down with the two new cohosts of The Monkey Dance, Mariem Diané and Xueyi Yao, to talk about the relationship between language and memory and the importance of symbols in abstract thought. We cover a lot of ground, going from temporal perception and learning to social dynamics and the mitigation of uncertainty from early childhood to adulthood.
