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.

Computational Modeling of Decision Making Enhances the Adversity Researcher's Toolbox
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Over the past decades, there has been major progress in our understanding of how adversity influences cognitive abilities and strategies. However, most of this research is based on raw performance, such as response times and accuracy. These measures are informative about decision‐making outcomes but tell us little about cognitive processes. In

Preschoolers’ Sensitivity to Abstract Relations Among Sets
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract In two studies, we test preschoolers’ ability to compare abstract relationships across sets. In Experiments 1a−1d, we show that both older (4‐ and 5‐year‐olds) and younger (3‐year‐olds) preschoolers successfully match both monotonic and symmetric relationships in visual patterns and succeed both in direct relational matches and inverted ones ...

From Odors to Colors: Sensory Perception in Neurodiverse Mexican Youth
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Previous work has shown that humans make consistent associations between odor and color. However, neurodiverse individuals, especially those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), perceive and interpret sensory information differently from their neurotypical peers.

An Expanded Model for Perceptual Norming: Insights From Japanese Ideophones
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Iconicity is inherently grounded in sensory experience, yet few studies investigate how sensory information is packaged in iconic words. We present perceptual strength ratings for Japanese ideophones, to ask how sensory information is encoded in this word class.
