2019 ASU Cognitive Science Symposium
Supported by the Cialdini Leap Forward Fund
Whatever Next? Predictive Brains and the Future of Cognitive Science*
October 18, 2019, 10am-5pm
(Psychology Library, ASU Tempe Campus)
Across areas of cognitive science, new models propose that a basic function of cognition is prediction. We predict when taking a step, when speaking (or hearing) a sentence, when interacting with others; and the brain itself may operate as predictive system.
