Embedding mental files in the world

open access: yesMind &Language, EarlyView.
Cognitive scientific explanations can take either a mechanistic or design perspective. Some recent philosophical works propose to apply the mechanistic perspective to the influential mental file framework. The design perspective, however, remains underexplored.

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

open access: yesMind &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.

Tracing Chomsky's Legacy in Psycholinguistics A Voyage via the Galilean Investigative Approach

open access: yes, 2023
This article examines the profound impact of Noam Chomsky's methodological approach on the field of psycholinguistics, with a particular focus on his endorsement of the Galilean style of inquiry. Through a detailed exploration, it underscores how the Galilean method, characterized by empirical and mathematical investigation, shaped Chomsky's theories ...

Modeling Effects of Rumination on Free Recall Using ACT‐R

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Ruminative thinking, characterized by a recurrent focus on negative and self‐related thought, is a key cognitive vulnerability marker of depression and, therefore, a key individual difference variable. This study aimed to develop a computational cognitive model of rumination focusing on the organization and retrieval of information in memory ...

Play in Cognitive Development: From Rational Constructivism to Predictive Processing

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract It is widely believed that play and curiosity are key ingredients as children develop models of the world. There is also an emerging consensus that children are Bayesian learners who combine their structured prior beliefs with estimations of the likelihood of new evidence to infer the most probable model of the world.

Personalized Model‐Driven Interventions for Decisions From Experience

open access: yesTopics 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 ...

Living in the Mycelial World

open access: yesTopics 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 ...

Perceptual Priors Update Contextual Feedback Processing in V1

open access: yesTopics 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.

Traces of Intentionality: Balance, Complexity, and Organization in Artworks by Humans and Apes

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Are people able to tell apart a random configuration of lines and dots from a work of art? Previous studies have shown that untrained viewers can distinguish between abstract art made by professional artists, children, or apes. Pieces made by artists were perceived as more intentionally made and organized than the rest.

Drawing Animals in the Paleolithic: The Effect of Perspective and Abbreviation on Animal Recognition and Aesthetic Appreciation

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The majority of Pleistocene figurative cave art in Western Europe consists of line drawings depicting large herbivores from the side view, and outlines were sometimes abbreviated to the head‐neck‐dorsal line. It is often assumed that the side view was used because it facilitates animal recognition compared to other views, and that abbreviated ...
