Infinite Ends From Finite Samples: Open‐Ended Goal Inference as Top‐Down Bayesian Filtering of Bottom‐Up Proposals

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The space of human goals is tremendously vast; and yet, from just a few moments of watching a scene or reading a story, we seem to spontaneously infer a range of plausible motivations for the people and characters involved. What explains this remarkable capacity for intuiting other agents' goals, despite the infinitude of ends they might ...

Goals Shape Dynamics of Attention and Selection for Value‐Based Decision‐Making

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Humans can flexibly adjust how they make decisions to arbitrary goals. However, most theories in decision‐making focus on predicting one specific choice type (i.e., choosing the best option). Here, we link decision‐making and cognitive‐control research to test a theory that accounts for flexible adjustments of choice mechanisms to different ...

Language, Perception, and Task Design: Multiple Factors Contribute to Children's Understanding of Pitch Metaphors

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Language and perception are intimately linked in human cognition, yet the precise nature of their interaction remains unclear. In the domain of auditory pitch, languages often use metaphors by borrowing terminology from other domains. However, studies examining children's understanding of pitch metaphors have produced notably conflicting ...

The Cultural Evolution of Human Goals

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Humans pursue remarkably diverse goals that vary over time and across cultures. These goals are both drivers and products of cultural evolutionary dynamics, yet most theories of cultural evolution have focused on the influence of culture on how individuals reach their goals, rather than on which goals they pursue.

The Grammar of Perception: A Case Study of Guambiano (Namtrik) and Duna

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Although the senses provide a common basis for our experience of the world, cross‐linguistic research has revealed substantial diversity across languages in how perceptual experiences are encoded in words. Such variability is also present at the level of grammatical structure, though the project of charting the parameters and limits of cross ...
