Fatigue has been defined differently in the literature depending on the field of research. The
inconsistent use of the term fatigue complicated scientific communication, thereby limiting …

Across many domains of decision making, people seem both rational and irrational. We
review recent work that aims to reconcile these apparently contradictory views by modeling …

The first comprehensive treatment of active inference, an integrative perspective on brain,
cognition, and behavior used across multiple disciplines. Active inference is a way of …

Modeling human cognition is challenging because there are infinitely many mechanisms
that can generate any given observation. Some researchers address this by constraining the …

Motivated control refers to the coordination of behaviour to achieve affectively valenced
outcomes or goals. The study of motivated control traditionally assumes a distinction …

I apply a recently emerging perspective on the complexity of action selection, the rate–
distortion theory of control, to provide a computational-level model of errors and difficulties in …

Human development is often described as a 'cooling off'process, analogous to stochastic
optimization algorithms that implement a gradual reduction in randomness over time. Yet …

This paper aims to integrate some key constructs in the cognitive neuroscience of cognitive
control and executive function by formalising the notion of cognitive (or mental) effort in …

Most current decision-making research focuses on classical economic scenarios, where
choice offers are prespecified and where action dynamics play no role in the decision …

An organism's survival depends on its ability to learn about its environment and to make
adaptive decisions in the service of achieving the best possible outcomes in that …
