Humans are remarkably limited in:(i) how many control-dependent tasks they can execute
simultaneously, and (ii) how intensely they can focus on a single task. These limitations are …

Depression is linked to deficits in cognitive control and a host of other cognitive impairments
arise as a consequence of these deficits. Despite of their important role in depression, there …

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

Consider the range of social behaviours we engage in every day. In each case, there are a
multitude of unknowns, reflecting the many sources of uncertainty inherent to social …

I seek an explanation for the etiology and the function of mind wandering episodes. My
proposal—which I call the cognitive control proposal—is that mind wandering is a form of …

Human reasoning is often conceived as an interplay between a more intuitive and deliberate

Many contemporary accounts of human reasoning assume that the mind is equipped with
multiple heuristics that could be deployed to perform a given task. This raises the question of …

Artificial intelligence systems use an increasing amount of computation and data to solve
very specific problems. By contrast, human minds solve a wide range of problems using a …

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to improve human decision-making by providing
decision recommendations and problem-relevant information to assist human decision …

An increasing number of cognitive, neurobiological, and computational models have been
proposed in the last decade, seeking to explain how humans allocate physical or cognitive …
