Spontaneous fluctuations in pupil size are correlated with neural activity and behavior in many ways. This is generally attributed to a single underlying cause: arousal. This unitary account disregards other potential underlying causes. To ...

Children tend to explore broadly, and, despite its costs, exploration confers important benefits, especially early in development, when they know little. What drives this exploratory behavior? In contrast to accounts that emphasize heighten...

The weight of body parts is largely hidden from conscious experience. People underestimate the weight of their limbs, whereas individuals in clinical populations often experience them as abnormally heavy. We argue that limb weight is a fund...

Memory routinely transforms continuous experience into discrete episodes that support flexible retrieval. We propose that these structured representations are established via rapid neural reactivation occurring at the completion of an event...

Understanding human decision-making processes in everyday life is a central, yet rarely addressed, challenge in psychology. Either real-life complexity is reduced by isolating specific aspects of decision-making in highly constrained experi...

Differences between musicians and nonmusicians are routinely attributed to training-induced plasticity and transfer, even though pre-existing factors provide equally plausible explanations. We propose repositioning correlational research: n...

Recent studies reveal striking representational alignment between artificial neural networks (ANNs) and biological brains, leading to proposals that all sufficiently capable systems converge on universal representations of reality. We argue...

Cognitive science faces ongoing challenges in research integration, formalization, conceptual clarity, and other areas, partly due to its multifaceted and interdisciplinary nature. Recent advances in artificial intelligence, particularly th...

In recent years, several claims have been put forth suggesting that animals of different species address each other using receiver-specific calls that function as individual names. If accurate, this would demonstrate a capacity for symbolic...
