Animal Logic: Locke and the Nature of Inference
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Can animals reason? If so, what would their reasoning consist in, and how, if at all, would it differ from its human counterpart? On these questions, John Locke stakes out a position that also merits consideration today. I argue that, for Locke, reasoning is a matter of the subject's construing her mental states as support for a conclusion ...

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Many trauma survivors mentally create alternative scenarios to the factual past (i.e., “what could have happened”), referred to as counterfactual thoughts (CFT). However, to date, research on the phenomenology of post‐trauma CFT is sparse. We aimed to systematically explore the characteristics and content of CFT reported by young survivors of ...

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Recent studies suggest that learners who are asked to predict the outcome of an event learn more than learners who are asked to evaluate it retrospectively or not at all. One possible explanation for this “prediction boost” is that it helps learners engage metacognitive reasoning skills that may not be spontaneously leveraged, especially for ...

Play in Cognitive Development: From Rational Constructivism to Predictive Processing
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract It is widely believed that play and curiosity are key ingredients as children develop models of the world.

Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...

Metacognitive Prediction of Creative Performance in Divergent Thinking
PsyCh Journal, Volume 15, Issue 6, December 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding how individuals monitor and predict their own creative performance is essential for advancing theories of creative metacognition. Despite extensive research on metacognitive predictions in memory and problem solving, little is known about whether people can accurately anticipate their performance in divergent thinking tasks.
