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.

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 ...

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.

Goals Matter: Children's Exploration of Ambiguity is Sensitive to Contextual Value
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Children are voracious explorers. While this tendency is well established by both empirical and everyday evidence, accounts differ on whether exploration is goal‐directed or stimulus‐driven. In the current study, children (3‐ to 6‐year‐olds, n = 72) played with a novel toy that operated according to one of two possible causal rules and were ...

I stumbled when I saw: Fieldwork, fallibility, and the politics of being wrong
Anthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 2, December 2026.Abstract What does it mean for an anthropologist to be wrong? This essay takes the question seriously in two registers at once: the everyday mistakes of fieldwork, from mistranslating a greeting to misreading a shaved head as a sign of mourning, and the deeper entitlement through which our discipline claimed authority over other people's languages and ...
