How does the brain learn environmental structure? Ten core principles for understanding the neurocognitive mechanisms of statistical learning
CM Conway - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2020 - Elsevier
Despite a growing body of research devoted to the study of how humans encode
environmental patterns, there is still no clear consensus about the nature of the …

Linking behavioural syndromes and cognition: a behavioural ecology perspective
With the exception of a few model species, individual differences in cognition remain
relatively unstudied in non-human animals. One intriguing possibility is that variation in …

The now-or-never bottleneck: A fundamental constraint on language
Memory is fleeting. New material rapidly obliterates previous material. How, then, can the
brain deal successfully with the continual deluge of linguistic input? We argue that, to deal …

Cognitive performance is linked to group size and affects fitness in Australian magpies
The social intelligence hypothesis states that the demands of social life drive cognitive
evolution,,. This idea receives support from comparative studies that link variation in group …

The evolution of general intelligence
The presence of general intelligence poses a major evolutionary puzzle, which has led to
increased interest in its presence in nonhuman animals. The aim of this review is to critically …

The evolution of cognitive mechanisms in response to cultural innovations
When humans and other animals make cultural innovations, they also change their
environment, thereby imposing new selective pressures that can modify their biological …

The fast and the flexible: cognitive style drives individual variation in cognition in a small mammal
Patterns of individual differences in cognition have been studied empirically and
systematically in the last decade, but causes and consequences of this variation are still …

Learning by observation emerges from simple associations in an insect model
Recent debate has questioned whether animal social learning truly deserves the label"

Long-term repeatability of cognitive performance
Measures of cognitive performance, derived from psychometric tasks, have yielded
important insights into the factors governing cognitive variation. However, concerns remain …
