Speaking of numerical cognition: its director, Dr Alejandro Maiche—Ale—one of the pillars of cognitive science in Uruguay, received the 2026 IMBES Translation Award. Richly deserved! event.fourwaves.com/imbes202…
And 22 researchers are only part of Uruguay’s cognitive science community. Other major teams were not in Rio: groups studying poverty and executive function, reading, numerical cognition (see picture), and the team behind the national developmental inventory used nationwide.
Our Argentine colleague and close collaborator, Julia Hermida, was one of the conference keynote speakers. Her outstanding talk highlighted findings from her group and other Latin American teams, including ours.
We also joined collaborative activities, including the newly created Relacco network (left) and a meeting of the Kalulu–Río de la Plata group (right), alongside other initiatives strengthening regional cooperation.
Many of these sessions were organized with colleagues from around the world—especially Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico. These collaborations have been central to the growth of our community (@cabana_alvaro & @LentoBio)
We also organized symposia and gave talks in several others, contributing to discussions across a wide range of topics in cognitive science (@marktmeaning & @NinVeronica)
We presented several posters by graduate students and senior researchers and took part in sessions across the conference. The collage shows only part of our delegation—and only some of the work presented!
I have received a badge of recognition for speaking at Cogsci 2026. A very exciting conference I like to attend, this time in Rio.
The Uruguayan gang at Cogsci in Rio. We first went to Cogsci together with Andrés Pomi & Álvaro Cabana in 2011. Now we are 21! And this is just a part of our Cognitive Science community. We have grown a lot.
