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.

How Well Can Words Capture Facial Appearance? A Cross‐Linguistic Exploration
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract When describing faces, people often struggle with verbalizing facial features. Free descriptions seem to focus predominantly on aspects of faces that are inferred, for example, psychological traits, age, attractiveness, and so on, whereas facial features themselves are often described in a limited and imprecise fashion.

Conniving With Continuations: Representing Goals in a Domain‐Specific Language of Thought
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Wanting composes flexibly with knowing: we can want to know, want to know what someone wants, and so on. In this paper, we develop a goal representation that allows for this type of rich integration between goals and other theory‐of‐mind concepts.

Preference‐Based Representations for Collective Agency
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Computational accounts of learning and decision‐making in cognitive systems, and models thereof, such as reinforcement learning, typically assume that the behavior of individual agents is determined by an externally designated reward signal such that the agent's goal is the maximization of its expected accumulated reward under the state ...

Charting New Paths in the Study of Kin Term Acquisition
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Kin terms appear among infants’ earliest words, yet a full mastery of kin concepts typically emerges only in late childhood. This prolonged developmental trajectory reflects not only children's acquisition of an abstract relational system of words, but also their growing understanding of social relationships and interactional norms.
