Cognition in reach: continuous statistical inference in optimal motor planning
We study the projection of cognitive representations into continuous motor (reaching) responses with a computational model that unifies three influential approaches: accumulation of evidence, statistical inference, and optimal feedback control. We modeled a number comparison task that asked participants to respond with a reaching gesture which of two side had more dots. The model successfully r...
متن کاملAdvances in Animal Cognition
This editorial endorses a diverse approach to the study of animal cognition and emphasizes the theoretical and applied gains that can be made by embracing this approach. This diversity emerges from cross-talk among scientists trained in a variety of backgrounds and theoretical approaches, who study a variety of topics with a range of species. By shifting from an anthropocentric focus on humans ...
متن کاملIn Animal Cognition
This paper analyzes the function of certain aspects of cognition, like planning, deceiving, self-awareness, and communication. I distinguish between two kinds of representations of information. A cued representation stands for something that is present in the current situation. Detached representations stand for objects or events that are neither present in the situation nor triggered by some r...
متن کاملAnimal cognition and animal behaviour
Cognitive processes such as perception, learning, memory and decision making play an important role in mate choice, foraging and many other behaviours. In this review, I summarize a few key ideas about animal cognition developed in a recent book (Shettleworth 1998, Cognition, Evolution and Behaviour) and briefly review some areas in which interdisciplinary research on animal cognition is curren...
متن کاملAnimal cognition
When Descartes suggested that nonhuman animals are machines, he made formal a view widely taken for granted by most thinkers in the Western tradition. In the process, he conveniently supplied a rationale for the curious assumption that only humans have souls. (Swimming against the tide, Saint Jerome argued in the early 400s that certain animals might have small souls.) Darwin's theory of evolut...
