You Scratch My Back: White‐Footed Mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) Sibling Pairs Engage in Allogrooming in Response to Tick Burdens

Generics favor stability

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
Humans seek to predict, explain, and control their environments. Generalizations—like those expressed by “children like candy” and “cigarettes cause cancer”—provide one resource to facilitate these tasks. We develop a proposal tying the acceptability judgments of generics to the psychological functions of generalizations.

AI Death

Philosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper addresses the following questions: When do AIs die? Are AI labs or AI users causing the death of AIs? Is this bad for the AIs? What are our ethical responsibilities in light of the answers to these questions? It is currently unclear whether AIs are welfare subjects, and, if they are, whether their death is bad for them. But we argue

Anxiety is Associated With Biases in Task Generalization

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Adaptive behavior depends on generalizing learned task structures to novel situations. While anxiety is known to distort stimulus‐based threat generalization, its effects on task generalization—the transfer of learned action−outcome structures to new planning contexts—remain poorly understood.
