The latest breakthroughs, innovations, and cool happenings at the cutting edge of the world of cognitive science. Updated daily.
Just like how some people are really good at specific tasks but struggle with general ones, researchers in artificial intelligence have been exploring two different approaches to understanding human reasoning: task-specific models and domain-general mapping. In this study, scientists focused on visual analogical reasoning using images of three-dimensional objects. They compared human performance to that […]
Learning patterns in events can be a tricky business. Some patterns are easy to spot, like when you know that seeing dark clouds means rain is coming. But what about patterns that aren’t as obvious? That’s where nonadjacent dependencies (NADs) come in. NADs involve tracking the co-occurrences between elements that are far apart in time. […]
Imagine trying to solve a puzzle where the pieces are constantly changing shape and interacting with each other. That’s what researchers in cognitive neuroscience are facing when it comes to understanding antisocial behavior (ASB). They argue that studying the brain in isolation from its environment is like trying to solve a puzzle by looking at […]
