Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Past research suggests that Working Memory plays a role in determining relative clause attachment bias. Disambiguation preferences may further depend on Processing Speed and explicit memory demands in linguistic tasks. Given that Working Memory and Processing Speed decline with age, older adults offer a way of investigating the factors ...

Personalized Model‐Driven Interventions for Decisions From Experience
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Cognitive models that represent individuals provide many benefits for understanding the full range of human behavior. One way in which individual differences emerge is through differences in knowledge. In dynamic situations, where decisions are made from experience, models built upon a theory of experiential choice (instance‐based learning ...

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Predictive processing is an influential theoretical framework for understanding human and animal cognition. In the context of predictive processing, learning is often reduced to optimizing the parameters of a generative model with a predefined structure. This is known as Bayesian parameter learning.

Aging and the Division of Labor of Theory of Mind Skills in Metaphor Comprehension
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract While some aspects of pragmatic competence are known to decline with age, for metaphor skills the evidence is inconclusive, possibly due to heterogeneity in the assessment tools. Furthermore, the previous literature on age‐related changes in pragmatic skills has rarely considered the role of Theory of Mind (ToM), which is described as one of ...

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

Knowledge Spillover, Trust, Effort, and Error Exposure in Peer‐Assisted Learning
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Peer‐assisted learning has the potential to improve learning in academic settings and beyond. However, the cognitive and motivational mechanisms of learning through interaction with other learners are not fully understood. Here, we present an empirical study in which we compare a peer‐assisted learning condition with two individual learning ...

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Mushrooms are a ubiquitous and essential component in our biological environment and have been of interest to humans around the globe for millennia. Knowledge about mushrooms represents a prime example of cumulative culture, one of the key processes in human evolution.

Perceptual Priors Update Contextual Feedback Processing in V1
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Contextual information and prior knowledge facilitate perceptual processing, improving our recognition of even distorted or obstructed visual inputs. As a result, neuronal processing elicited by identical sensory inputs varies depending on the context in which we encounter those inputs.
