1. Doesn't the ability to represent and operate over representations assume the ability to perform computations (including logical operations) over representations? If not, what is the difference between operating over representations and performing logical operations over them?
2. Somewhere on earth, there is a research program around non-axiomatic reasoning. While the core of it is claimed to be based on human "logic", the goals feel different compared to cognitive science. But what I found interesting was an attempt at abstracting out human "logic" into a formal framework. I was wondering if there are other attempts for this. Such a framework can indeed also be used for deriving predictions for human experiments.
3. I see that Box 3 goes over the relation between probability and possibility. Could you go over the distinction in class too? For example, I don't see the contradiction for the keys-in-the-house example; one can obtain the probability of keys being in a certain location be summing/integrating the probability density over the area of the location.

4. Has there been a control study controlling for whether or not children think the experimenter is lying with the expectation that that leads to faster learning rather than impossibility?
