Weber's law is a rare quantitative regularity in psychology, yet its origins remain debated. Here we provide causal evidence that it arises from the more fundamental principle of efficient coding. Thi...

My husband, son, and I have been locked up for months—despite being permanent residents with no criminal record. It is an unendurable, unending nightmare.

Continual reinforcement learning aims to produce agents that learn not only to improve at their current tasks but also to adapt as task distributions change. Training an agent on many diverse tasks ca...

When do machine learning systems fail to generalize, and what mechanisms could improve their generalization? Here, we draw inspiration from cognitive science to argue that one weakness of...

Abstract. Possible mechanisms behind newborn face preferences are debated, including innate templates, top-heavy bias, focus on eyes, and rapid learning ex

Labs are teaming up to run a host of huge projects that aim to bring rigour to cognitive science.

Continual reinforcement learning aims to produce agents that learn not only to improve at their current tasks but also to adapt as task distributions change. Training an agent on many diverse tasks ca...

How can cognitive science build generalizable theories that span the full scope of natural situations and behaviors? We argue that progress in Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers timely opportunities ...

Humans can pursue a near-infinite variety of tasks, but typically can only pursue a small number at the same time. We hypothesize that humans leverage experience on one task to preemptively learn solu...
