Beyond the Adult Mind: A Developmental Framework for Predictive Processing in Infancy
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Predictive Processing has been proposed as the single unifying computation underlying all of cognition, and proponents argue that all psychological phenomena can be explained as consequences of this principle. This theoretical framework has inspired many cognitive scientists and neuroscientists, but it currently has no developmental mechanism ...
