“When people talk about the limitations of the mind, they often put it in terms of, ‘humans just don’t have the mental capacity’ or ‘humans lack computing power,’” Ritz said. “These findings support a different perspective on why we’re not focused all the time. It...
Joleon Lescott has hailed Phil Foden’s football intelligence after the midfielder’s goalscoring show in Manchester City’s 3-1 victory over Wolves.
orcortical reallocation(the two terms are equivalent and will be used interchangeably in the text) correspond to the experience-dependent dedication of a cerebral region to a cognitive function that does not typically map to this region in
Here,\(|A^{win}|\)is the matrix whose elements are the absolute values\(|a^{win}_{ij}|\)and\(\times\)denotes external matrix multiplication. We then normalize every element\(h ^{\prime }_{i,j}\)of the\((246\times 15)\)-matrix\(H ^{\prime }\)to the size\(K_j\)of the...
How does one prognosticate something one does not scientifically understand? At one point he offers that “[t]he principles of information, computation, and control bridge the chasm between the physical world of cause and effect and the mental world of knowledge, intelligence, and purpose” (22)...
The human brain is unusually large. It has tripled in size from Australopithecines to modern humans1 and has become almost six times larger than expected for a placental mammal of human size2. Brains incur high metabolic costs3 and accordingly a long-sta
Partial eta squared (ηp2) and Cohen’s D were used to evaluate the effect size. Two-way between-subjects ANOVAs were performed with relationship type (couple dyads vs. stranger dyads) and gender composition (male–female vs. female–male) to estimate their effect on task performance. 2.4....
To adapt to a new environment, individuals must alternate between exploiting previously learned “action–consequence” combinations and exploring new actions for which the consequences are unknown: they face an exploration/exploitation trade-off. The ne
It should be obvious that brain size and function can vary independently of body mass, so modest differences in encephalization index should not be regarded as indicating differences in cognitive functioning or intelligence; however, the difference is enormous between humans and chimpanzees, both in ...
Full size image In cases where the ID-net does not know the trained sequence, the SR is calculated for each digit following the most frequently predicted labels. The orange histogram is calculated following the minimal SR value among the 10 digits; consequently, the orange histogram exhibits high...
