Designing Intuitive Mental Representations
Why do some difficult intellectual problems suddenly melt away when we find an "intuitive" way to think about them (and others don't)? What does it mean for a mental representation to be better or worse?
Join us for a talk with QRI Researcher Ethan Kuntz on the phenomenological underpinnings of intuition and novel approaches to building better mental scaffolding.
Schedule:
6:30 - dinner served, mingling
7:30 - talk begins
8:30 - continued hangout
