Looking for articles, or any kind of studies, passages, chapters on the evolution in the meaning of the words "cognitive" and "cognition." There is an older meaning that, to me, seems not to be used anymore, something along the lines of "cognitive content" being content that has an empirical basis..?
Much appreciated if anyone has any suggestions for pursuing this line of inquiry 🙏
This won't likely prove to be much help, but I'm sure I've read that Ulric Neisser's textbook title "Cognitive Psychology" circa 1967 was the first usage of that term.
Using a new perspective-taking task, we monitored the impact of conflicting perspectives on real-time pragmatic inferences during conversation. Addressees suspended contrastive inferences when perspectives conflicted.

See a neuro or cog discussion buzzing on Mastodon? Think it could interest a wider audience and benefit from more input? Reply to OP with #NeuroBuzz and/or @neurobuzz!

There have already been some great discussions tagged with the #NeuroBuzz hashtag and @neurobuzz group labels over the last couple of days 🥳
Don't forget to follow both, spread the word, and let's get tagging discussions, not forgetting older ones you might recall and feel could have done with more input. Grab your #NeuroBuzz defibrillator and inject some fresh life back into 'em!
Between you and me, if the beliefs you hold about the world are readily and genuinely cognitively modifiable, I can make allowances for theories that may not be formally falsifiable 👍
I think that left and right frontal brain areas have stronger functional connectivity to each other than left and right occipital areas. Can anyone point me to work on that? #neuroscience@cognition@neuroscience
Pleased to present a preprint in which, for the 1st time, we characterize the Marighetto model of everyday-like #memory (EdM) in terms of active #forgetting. Also introduced are behavioral analyses I developed to study deliberation during my PhD.
4/ Hence, the EdM model. The basis is a global environment (radial maze) containing three local spatial task contexts, arm pairs A, B, C. In each session, the animal is challenged on a pseudorandom sequence of 23 spatial alternation trials in these contexts.
10/ Aged mice also physically “change their mind” as often as young mice, via a process classically referred to as “vicarious trial and error” or VTE. This behavior also decreases as EdM difficulty increases, especially in young mice. Why this counter-intuitive decrease?
I'm so pleased to present the #ArithmosProject workshop, funded by Irish Research Council, a University College Dublin & Technological University Dublin partnership, on http://Transform-ed.eu symposium organised by the European Commission Representation in Malta! 🇲🇹
I am a PhD student in Computational #Neuroscience at #Cambridge University. I work on the connection of biological 🧠 and artificial 🤖 intelligence, building neuro-inspired RNNs from prefrontal cortex dynamics and circuit plasticity rules. I work with John Duncan and Matt Botvinick (#Deepmind).

There is no a priori reason to presume that certain species of cetacean don't elaborate and maintain their own inter-generational oral traditions of historical epics.
Just a thought that popped into my head while hacking out the details of a #pragmatist approach to history here.
It allows or relatively simple but straightforward and tidy analyses of EEG data
Important changes that I recently made are that:
(i) it plays nicely with latest versions of tidyverse packages and (ii) that one can open fif files from MNE (but this is quite experimental atm)
Uncovered this truly extraordinary (for 1944) short text by an Alfred #Mirsky, delivered at the #Scientific Spirit and #Democratic#Faith conference, in a section named "The Democratic Responsibilities of Science." In it, Mirsky ties the behavioral effects of good vs poor laboratory animal welfare to the nature/nurture question of how environment interacts with genetic potentiality:
