Over the last decades, interdisciplinary field of affective sciences has seen proliferation rather than integration theoretical perspectives. This is due to differences in metaphysical and mechanistic assumptions about human phenomena (what they are how work) which, shaped by academic motivations values, have determined constructs operationalizations. An assumption on purpose can be used as a teleological principle guide construction common set assumptions—a framework for research. In this capstone paper special issue "Towards an Integrated Understanding Human Affectome", we gather tiered synthesize that account collectively. teleologically-grounded offers principled agenda launchpad both organizing existing perspectives generating new ones. Ultimately, hope Affectome brings us step closer not only integrated understanding phenomena, but

Emotion prediction as computation over a generative theory of mind

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A Mathematical Physical and Engineering Sciences, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 381(2251)

From sparse descriptions of events, observers can make systematic and nuanced predictions what emotions the people involved will experience. We propose a formal model emotion prediction in context public high-stakes social dilemma. This uses inverse planning to infer person's beliefs preferences, including preferences for equity maintaining good reputation. The then combines these inferred mental contents with event compute 'appraisals': whether situation conformed expectations fulfilled preferences. learn functions mapping computed appraisals labels, allowing match human observers' quantitative 20 emotions, joy, relief, guilt envy. Model comparison indicates that monetary are not sufficient explain predictions; factored into nearly every emotion. Human both use minimal individualizing information adjust how different respond same event. Thus, our framework integrates planning, concepts single computational reverse-engineer people's intuitive theory emotions. article is part discussion meeting issue 'Cognitive artificial intelligence'.

Wanting to matter and learning to care: A neurodevelopmental window of opportunity for (Pro) social learning?

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 69, С. 101430 - 101430

Опубликована: Авг. 14, 2024

Wanting to matter-to feel socially recognized, appreciated, and capable of actions that benefit others-represents a fundamental motivation in human development. The motivational salience mattering appears increase adolescence. Evidence suggests this is related pubertal increases the incentive for gaining social value personal agency. This can provide useful heuristic understanding proclivities (i.e. wanting matter) influence action-outcome learning as young adolescents are exploring how navigate increasingly complex relational environments. Adolescence also brings new capacities, motives, opportunities care about contribute others. Together, these create window opportunity: sensitive period gain salient feelings through caring prosocial valued societal contributions. Successfully discovering ways by doing things matter others may formative socio-emotional self/other. Advances processes their neurodevelopmental underpinnings inform strategies improve developmental trajectories competence wellbeing among growing up rapidly changing techno-centric world.

Towards a Generative Model for Emotion Dynamics

Опубликована: Март 17, 2023

Most theories of emotion suggest that emotions are reactions to situations we encounter in daily life. Process further specify a feedback loop between our environment, attention, emotions, and action clarifies the adaptive nature emotions. In principle, such process describe how develop life, consequently, measures collected from individuals many times day studies using Experience Sampling Methodology (ESM) should be highly useful advancing these theories. However, current predominantly verbal therefore do not make clear predictions about data. this paper, take first step towards generative model dynamics by formalizing link which provides us with basic We show incomplete already reproduces nine empirical phenomena time series related (temporal) statistical associations their distributional form. then discuss can draw on existing (process) extend into complete dynamics. Finally, models facilitate theory development advance measurement, study design, analysis.

A cognitive-computational account of mood swings in adolescence

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 28(4), С. 290 - 303

Опубликована: Март 18, 2024

Teenagers have a reputation for being fickle, in both their choices and moods. This variability may help adolescents as they begin to independently navigate novel environments. Recently, however, adolescent moodiness has also been linked psychopathology. Here, we consider adolescents' mood swings from computational perspective, grounded reinforcement learning (RL). model proposes that is determined by surprises about outcomes the environment, how much learn these surprises. It additionally suggests biases choice bidirectional manner. Integrating independent lines of research, sketch cognitive-computational account mood, learning, dynamics influence each other, with implications normative psychopathological development.

Emotions and individual differences shape foraging under threat

Опубликована: Май 4, 2023

A common behaviour in natural environments is foraging for rewards. However, this often the presence of predators. Therefore, one most fundamental decisions humans, as other animals, how to apportion time between reward-motivated pursuit and threat-motivated checking behaviour. To understand what affects people strike balance, we developed a novel ecologically inspired task looked at both within-participant dynamics (moods) between-participant individual differences (questionnaires about real-life behaviours) two large internet samples (n=374 n=702) cross-sectional design. For dynamics, found that regulate task-evoked stress homeostatically by changing (increasing hiding). Individual differences, even superficially related traits (apathy-anhedonia anxiety-compulsive checking) reliably mapped onto unique behaviours. Worse performance, due maladaptive checking, was linked gender (women checked excessively) specific anxiety-related traits: somatic anxiety (reduced self-reported worry) compulsivity (self-reported disorganized checking). While anhedonia decreased engagement, apathy, strikingly, improved overall performance reducing excessive checking. In summary, provide multifaceted paradigm assessment threat naturalistic which sensitive moods they change throughout clinical dimensions. Thus, it could serve an objective measurement tool future studies interested threat, vigilance or behaviour-emotion interactions contexts requiring reward-seeking threat-avoidance.

Why I am not a Turing machine

Journal of Cognitive Psychology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown, С. 1 - 12

Опубликована: Авг. 27, 2024

Recent advances in artificial intelligence have reinvigorated the longstanding debate regarding whether or not any aspects of human cognition—notably, high-level creativity—are beyond reach computer programs. Is creativity entirely a computational process? Here I consider one general argument for dissociation between and creativity, which hinges on role consciousness—inner experience—in cognition. It appears unlikely that inner experience is itself process, implying it cannot be instantiated an abstract Turing machine, nor current architecture. Psychological research strongly implies integrates emotions with perception thoughts. This integrative function consciousness likely plays key mechanisms support creativity. conclusion dovetails anecdotal reports creative individuals, who linked intrinsic motivation to create, ability access novel connections ideas.
