Consciousness and Adaptive Behavior [PDF]
Activitas Nervosa Superior, 2011 Abstract The main problem in explaining consciousness is accounting for its subjectivity from an internal perspective. In addition, subjective systems have adaptive ability to respond to change and self-organize their own behavior. In this context, the nonlinear emergence of internal explicit states might be studied in natural systems to gain

Measuring Risk Literacy: The Berlin Numeracy Test
Judgment and Decision Making, 2012 We introduce the Berlin Numeracy Test, a new psychometrically sound instrument that quickly assesses statistical numeracy and risk literacy. We present 21 studies (n=5336) showing robust psychometric discriminability across 15 countries (e.g., Germany ...

A Causal Framework for Cross-Cultural Generalizability
Advances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science, 2022 Behavioral researchers increasingly recognize the need for more diverse samples that capture the breadth of human experience. Current attempts to establish generalizability across populations focus on threats to validity, constraints on generalization ...

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2009 In everyday life we tune our behavior to a rapidly changing environment as well as to the behavior of others. The behavioral and neural underpinnings of such adaptive mechanisms are the focus of the present study.

An ecological perspective to cognitive limits: Modeling environment-mind interactions with ACT-R
Judgment and Decision Making, 2008 Contrary to the common belief that more information is always better, Gigerenzer et al. (1999) showed that simple decision strategies which rely on little information can be quite successful.

Social learning strategies modify the effect of network structure on group performance
Nature Communications, 2016 Previous studies have disagreed over whether efficient or inefficient network structures should be more effective in promoting group performance. Here, Barkoczi and Galesic demonstrate that which structure is superior depends on the social learning ...

Information search with situation-specific reward functions
Judgment and Decision Making, 2012 The goal of obtaining information to improve classification accuracy can strongly conflict with the goal of obtaining information for improving payoffs. Two environments with such a conflict were identified through computer optimization. Three subsequent

The Paradox of Help Seeking in the Entropy Mastermind Game
Frontiers in Education, 2020 Research on Bayesian reasoning suggests that humans make good use of available information. Similarly, research on human information acquisition suggests that Optimal Experimental Design models predict human queries well.

Liquidity Hoarding in Financial Networks: The Role of Structural Uncertainty
Complexity, 2019 The dynamics of confidence affect a plethora of financial phenomena including liquidity hoarding. We present a multiagent model of a financial network in which confidence dynamics are shaped by structural uncertainty—that is, the lack of knowledge about ...
