• a psychology of real-life decision-making

  “Toward a psychology of real-life decision-making” Novel developments in biologging technology allow for precise measurement of individual-level behavior across time and space. Additionally, novel technologies allow researchers to quantify in detail the environments in which people are embedded when making decisions. Such devices, however, are only useful to cognitive scientists when integrated with formal theoretical…

• Cognitive maps – a medium for thought

  “Cognitive maps as a medium for thought“ Cognitive maps and propositional representations (the ‘language of thought’) are different from each other but share some key characteristics, such as compositionality. To be useful for thinking, cognitive maps must interface with language of thought-like representations. This may involve the same operations that are used to convert cognitive…

• Dissent enhances the credibility …

  “Dissent enhances the credibility of groups of Bayesian conformist decision-makers “ When making a decision, individuals use their private information to evaluate the available options. In a group, they can also learn from other group members’ choices, which partially reveal their own private information. Bayesian estimation provides tools for modelling decisions that optimally balance these two…

• INTEROCEPTIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

  “Life-inspired interoceptive artificial intelligence for autonomous and adaptive agents” and free to read Despite remarkable advances in artificial intelligence (AI), building agents that can autonomously pursue goals while adapting to continuously changing environments remains a fundamental challenge. Living organisms naturally exhibit such adaptive autonomy, offering a compelling source of inspiration for how artificial systems might…

• Becoming Aware Through Internal Exploration

  “Becoming Aware Through Internal Exploration: Understanding Psychotherapy on Conceptual and Neurobiological Levels” Becoming aware of previously unrecognized aspects of one’s psychological and behavioral challenges is one of the central mechanisms of positive psychotherapeutic change. Yet the specific neurocognitive processes that underlie new realizations remain poorly understood. What must occur in one’s mind and brain for…

  “Structure Inference in Complex Environments Improves From Childhood to Adulthood” also available on website of Aaron M. Bornstein. Early in development, children can infer latent structure in the world from sparse and ambiguous evidence. Through a process known as structure learning, they extract statistical regularities, construct causal models from those regularities, and use those models…

• Four faces of information in natural systems

  Ever wonder what “information” really means? Here‘s a new paper, that lays out the multiple ways the term is used in natural science. Instead of arguing for a single valid interpretation, the paper proposes a pluralistic view where rigorous alternatives coexist — each with affordances and limits. The idea of ‘information’ has been instrumental to…

  “A developmental framework of interpersonal neural synchrony” Highlights Interpersonal neural synchrony (INS) emerges as early as four months of age. INS supports social learning, language acquisition, and attachment in development. Early INS is constrained to low-frequency rhythms, evolving with brain maturation. INS fosters mutual predictability and co-regulation in caregiver-child interactions. INS serves as both a…

Directionality heuristics are mental shortcuts used to interpret and address problems. Different degrees of wickedness call for different directionality heuristics. Nescience creates additional directionality challenges for challenge-led policies. This article contributes to the…

  “Holistic understanding of uncertainty for collaborative andproactive global change decision making” Global change is accelerating and pushing the planet’s ecosystems beyond the range of historical observations, creating increasing uncertainty in future system conditions. Despite general agreement that proactive environmental action is warranted, environmental decision conversations often end by identifying additional data needed to reduce uncertainty…

  “To explore or exploit: Individual differences in preschool decision making” Adapting to novel situations requires balancing exploration versus exploitation. Examining patterns of explore/exploit in decision making provides a more ecologically valid measure of performance.
