Understanding Goal Selection Through Human Limitations
From climbing mountains to playing video games, people have a striking ability to make a goal out of just about anything. However, people do not choose their goals haphazardly. Instead, they often rely on previously chosen goals to infor...

Generalization of Motor Learning in Psychological Space
The capacity to generate adaptive movements largely depends on how we generalize what we have previously learned to novel situations. The generalization of adapted movements has typically been framed as a consequence of neural tuning fun...

Goal‐Directed Latent Variable Inference: A Unified Active Inference Framework for Embodied Intelligence in Continuous Spatiotemporal Domains
This review presents goal‐directed latent variable inference (GLean) as a unified active inference framework for embodied intelligence operating in continuous spatiotemporal domains. We address a central challenge in cognitive science: h...

Exogenous Valuing: A Resource‐Rational Account of Openness to Environmental Influence
Our environment can influence what we like. Advertisements may lead you to care about trendy foods, or a friend may push you toward a genre of music. Yet, the adoption of values from the world around us is not typically within the scope ...

Understanding and Predicting Change Points in Individual Learning: An Analysis With Real‐World Data
Different models of learning have been developed to account for human performance over time, often fitting aggregate rather than individual performance. Understanding performance at an individual level is often more difficult because mul...

The Syntax and Semantics of Goals
In both cognitive science and computer science, goals are conceptualized as cognitive states that flexibly combine with world knowledge to organize and specify purposeful behavior. In this way, goals are compositional representations who...

The Grammar of Perception: A Case Study of Guambiano (Namtrik) and Duna
Although the senses provide a common basis for our experience of the world, cross‐linguistic research has revealed substantial diversity across languages in how perceptual experiences are encoded in words. Such variability is also presen...
