Adaptive planning depth in human problem-solving

Royal Society Open Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 12(4)

Published: April 1, 2025

We humans are capable of solving challenging planning problems, but the range adaptive strategies that we use to address them is not yet fully characterized. Here, designed a series problem-solving tasks require at different depths. After systematically comparing performance participants and models, found when facing problems certain number subgoals (from 1 8), make an their cognitive resources—namely, they tend select initial plan having minimum required depth, rather than selecting same depth for all problems. These results support view as bounded rational process, which adapts costly resources task demands.

From beeps to streets: unveiling sensory input and relevance across auditory contexts

Frontiers in Neuroergonomics, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 6

Published: April 28, 2025

This study investigates the neural basis of sound perception in everyday life using EEG data recorded an office-like environment over 3.5 h. We aimed to understand how contextual factors such as personal relevance, task complexity, and stimulus properties influence auditory processing ecologically valid settings. By systematically increasing complexity acoustic scenes tasks, we analyzed changes responses, focusing on N100 P300 components. Our results show that while is a stable marker attention both isolated sounds complex soundscapes, more sensitive environmental factors. These findings highlight importance context shaping suggest laboratory-based can be partially generalized real-world At same time, demands significantly markers. opens new opportunities naturalistic environments without sacrificing control typically afforded by laboratory studies.

The economics of cognitive institutions: mapping debates, looking ahead

Journal of Institutional Economics, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 20

Abstract In the philosophy of mind and cognitive science, there is a pronounced paradigm shift associated with transition from internalism to externalism. The externalist views processes as not isolated in brain, but interrelated external artefacts structures. paper focuses on one leading approaches – extended cognition. Despite dominance economics, its main schools, an emerging trend towards cognition ideas. my opinion, economists might develop most advanced version approach: socially based institutions. This analyses ideas institutional, Austrian, behavioural economics identifies numerous overlapping complementary research areas. I argue that institutions promising field for all economic schools propose preliminary agenda.

Cognitive institutions: In search of new behavioral foundations of economics

Voprosy Ekonomiki, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 5, P. 46 - 65

Published: May 17, 2025

Throughout the 20th century, economics followed lead of cognitive science, but in 21st century it has fallen behind. Cognitive scientists are actively developing theory extended cognition, which gone through three stages (waves) since mid-1990s. All waves based on ideas institutional economists, with third wave associated construction a socially cognition institutions. The article offers substantive analysis development context interactions economics. Based this analysis, first “sprouts” different areas economic research assessed. In future, we should expect an update behavioral foundations process will be uneven.

Exploring motor skill acquisition in bimanual coordination: insights from navigating a novel maze task

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Published: Aug. 14, 2024

Abstract In this study, we introduce a novel maze task designed to investigate naturalistic motor learning in bimanual coordination. We developed and validated an extended set of movement primitives tailored capture the full spectrum scenarios encountered game. Over 3-day training period, evaluated participants’ performance using these custom-developed software, enabling precise quantification performance. Our methodology integrated with in-depth kinematic analyses thorough thumb pressure assessments, charting trajectory progression from novice proficient stages. Results demonstrated consistent improvement significant adaptive changes joint behaviors strategic recalibrations distribution. These findings highlight central nervous system’s adaptability orchestrating sophisticated strategies crucial role tactile feedback precision tasks. The platform setup emerge as valuable foundation for future experiments, providing tool exploration coordination dynamics. This research underscores complexity environments, enhancing our understanding skill acquisition efficiency while emphasizing necessity further deeper investigation into mechanisms.
