Recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled machines to plan in tasks
previously thought to be uniquely human. Meanwhile, the planning algorithms implemented …

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 …

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

The central theme of this review is the dynamic interaction between information selection
and learning. We pose a fundamental question about this interaction: How do we learn what …

Simple choices (eg, eating an apple vs. an orange) are made by integrating noisy evidence
that is sampled over time and influenced by visual attention; as a result, fluctuations in visual …

Human decision making is plagued by systematic errors that can have devastating
consequences. Previous research has found that such errors can be partly prevented by …

Procrastination takes a considerable toll on people's lives, the economy and society at large.
Procrastination is often a consequence of people's propensity to prioritize their immediate …

Decisions in the natural world are rarely made in isolation. Each action that an organism
selects will affect the future situations in which it finds itself, and those situations will in turn …

Recent debates over adults' theory of mind use have been fueled by surprising failures of
perspective‐taking in communication, suggesting that perspective‐taking may be relatively …

Human decision-making is plagued by many systematic errors. Many of these errors can be
avoided by providing decision aids that guide decision-makers to attend to the important …
