How variability shapes learning and generalization
Learning is using past experiences to inform new behaviors and actions. Because all
experiences are unique, learning always requires some generalization. An effective way of …

Rationalizing constraints on the capacity for cognitive control
Humans are remarkably limited in:(i) how many control-dependent tasks they can execute
simultaneously, and (ii) how intensely they can focus on a single task. These limitations are …
