Various aspects of human cognition are shaped and enriched by abstract rules, which help
to describe, link and classify discrete events and experiences into meaningful concepts …

Research seeking to build artificial systems capable of reproducing elements of human
intelligence may benefit from a deeper consideration of the architecture and learning …

Throughout recorded history, and across cultures, humans have made visual art. In recent
years, the neural bases of creativity, including artistic creativity, have become a topic of …

Compositionality has long been considered a key explanatory property underlying human
intelligence: arbitrary concepts can be composed into novel complex combinations …

The ability to link variables is critical to many high-order cognitive functions, including
reasoning. It has been proposed that limits in relating variables depend critically on …

Effective choices generally require memory, yet little is known regarding the cognitive or
neural mechanisms that allow memory to influence choices. We outline a new framework …

Almost all studies on memory formation have implicitly put forward a rather static view on
memory. However, memories are not stable but sensitive to changes over time. Here we …

This address provides a review of evidence for a deconstruction of executive functions, the
set of cognitive operations which allow goal-directed behaviour. The underlying working …

Psychopathic traits affect social functioning and the ability to make adaptive decisions in
social interactions. This study investigated how psychopathy affects the neural mechanisms …

The solution process underlying the Raven Advanced Progressive Matrices (RAPM) has
been conceptualized to consist of two subprocesses: rule induction and goal management …
