    "title": "Advancing The Cognitive Science of Online Political Discourse",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The public sphere has shifted online, fundamentally altering the way political ideas are shared, debated, and contested. From topic-based chatrooms and social media threads to viral memes and videos, the internet has created new modes of political communication. To grasp how political thought is constructed in this digital landscape, we need to examine both the content of political messages and the structures that shape their impact. Studying this question is difficult not just because of the complexity of measuring and intervening on human political cognition in a noisy naturalistic setting but because of, for example, the proliferation of bots in online spaces and the frequency of insincere bad-faith posting and commentary. The research presented at this symposium advances our understanding of online political discourse by applying multiple methodologies, including statistical modeling and natural language processing of social media corpora, along with novel experiments on persuasion and how to counter misinformation.",
