Looking for trouble: A common threat‐detection mechanism underlying pain, fear, and anxiety

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
I put forward a novel cognitive architecture for pain, fear, and anxiety, according to which these three capacities are underpinned by a common threat‐detection mechanism. This mechanism takes information about potential threats as input, assesses whether the threat is actual and, if it deems it is, outputs a threat representation.

Did I have a dream last night? White dreaming as metacognitive feelings

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
While most research on sleep mentation focuses on dream reports, sleep experiences can also include reports lacking content, such as white dreaming—the feeling of knowing one dreamt but being unable to recall its contents. I claim that white dreaming is a metacognitive feeling, akin to tip‐of‐the‐tongue and déjà experiences.

The evolutionary psychology of the human pointing gesture

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
The human pointing gesture is a species‐unique and species‐universal form of communication that depends on humans' especially powerful forms of cooperative cognition and motivation.

Guidance without ends

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
Attentional guidance plays two crucial roles in temporally extended agency. First, guidance stabilizes attention onto our tasks—and tunes out distractions—for extended periods of time. Second, guidance makes attention telic/atelic. Guidance imposes completion conditions on telic attention (e.g., searching for your keys) but not atelic attention (e.g ...

Experience matters: A psycholinguistic investigation of predicates of personal taste

Semantics and Linguistic Theory, 2017
We discuss two psycholinguistic experiments on subjective adjectives, with the aim of testing the idea that predicates of personal taste (PPTs, e.g. fun, tasty) and non-PPT multidimensional adjectives (e.g. smart, healthy) differ in terms of the perspective-taking they involve.

How LLMs might think

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
Do large language models (“LLMs”) think? Daniel Stoljar and Zhihe Vincent Zhang have recently developed an argument from rationality for the claim that LLMs do not think. We contend, however, that the argument from rationality not only falters, but leaves open an intriguing possibility: that LLMs engage only in arational, associative forms of thinking ...
