Play in Cognitive Development: From Rational Constructivism to Predictive Processing
Topics 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
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 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
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.

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Hunter‐gatherers faced the survival threat of confusing edible mushrooms with their poisonous twins, imposing selection pressure on those who failed to detect subtle visual differences. Grounded in the ancestral priorities framework, which posits that the human mind is adapted to handle prehistoric challenges, we investigated whether humans ...

Words and Scents: How Language Shapes and Skews Olfactory Processing
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Research on language and olfaction presents a paradox. Language appears to support the formation of odor categories, yet it can also hinder odor recognition through verbal interference, highlighting that different olfactory processes get affected in distinct ways.

International Journal of Psychology, Volume 61, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT In this study, we test the theory of strong‐ties and weak‐ties rationalities (STWTR) (Sundararajan 2020) and the criterion validity of its measures using strong‐ties rationality and weak‐ties rationality scales to predict COVID‐19 related perceptions and behaviours.

Reading Research Quarterly, Volume 61, Issue 3, July/August/September 2026.ABSTRACT This historical analysis focuses on the 72‐year legacy of the Summary Investigations of Reading Research (SIRR) originally written by William S. Gray as a monograph in 1925, and continuing under the authorship of Helen Robinson and Samuel Weintraub until 1997.

The Goal Bias Emerges During Motion Event Perception and Affects Language Production and Memory
Cognitive Science, Volume 50, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract There is an asymmetry between the origin (Source; move from X…) and end‐point (Goal; …to Y) of motion events in both language and memory: Goals are mentioned more often and remembered more accurately than Sources. Here, we pursue the hypothesis that this Goal bias emerges as an online attentional bias that occurs during event apprehension and ...
