Explanation Within Arm’s Reach: A Predictive Processing Framework for Single Arm Use in Octopuses
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Erkenntnis"
DOI: 10.1007/s10670-021-00424-7
Abstract: Octopuses are highly intelligent animals with vertebrate-like cognitive and behavioural repertoires. Despite these similarities, vertebrate-based models of cognition and behaviour cannot always be successfully applied to octopuses, due to the structural and functional characteristics that… read more here.

Perceiving as knowing in the predictive mind

DOI: 10.1007/s11098-021-01702-4
Abstract: On an ‘internalist’ picture, knowledge isn’t necessary for understanding the nature of perception and perceptual experience. This contrasts with the ‘knowledge first’ picture, according to which it’s essential to the nature of successful perceiving as… read more here.

Predictive processing and the representation wars: a victory for the eliminativist (via fictionalism)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Synthese"
DOI: 10.1007/s11229-017-1442-8
Abstract: In this paper I argue that, by combining eliminativist and fictionalist approaches toward the sub-personal representational posits of predictive processing, we arrive at an empirically robust and yet metaphysically innocuous cognitive scientific framework. I begin… read more here.

Predictive processing and foundationalism about perception
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Synthese"
DOI: 10.1007/s11229-018-1715-x
Abstract: Predictive processing accounts of perception (PP) assume that perception does not work in a purely bottom-up fashion but also uses acquired knowledge to make top-down predictions about the incoming sensory signals. This provides a challenge… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11229-020-02678-0
Abstract: Despite the large interest in the human ability to perceive space present in neuroscience, cognitive science and psychology, as well as philosophy of mind, the issues regarding egocentric space representation received relatively less attention. In… read more here.

Ideology and predictive processing: coordination, bias, and polarization in socially constrained error minimization
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences"
DOI: 10.1016/j.cobeha.2020.05.002
Abstract: Recent models of cognition suggest that the brain may implement predictive processing, in which top-down expectations constrain incoming sensory data. In this perspective, expectations are updated (error minimization) only if sensory data sufficiently deviate from… read more here.

Affect-biased attention and predictive processing

DOI: 10.1016/j.cognition.2020.104370
Abstract: In this paper we argue that predictive processing (PP) theory cannot account for the phenomenon of affect-biased attention - prioritized attention to stimuli that are affectively salient because of their associations with reward or punishment.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cpr.2020.101829
Abstract: Persistent physical symptoms (PPS) are distressing, difficult to treat, and pose a major challenge to health care providers and systems. In this article, we review two disparate bodies of literature on PPS to provide a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2020.117687
Abstract: Evidence accrues that readers form multiple hypotheses about upcoming words. The present study investigated the hemodynamic effects of predictive processing during natural reading by means of combining fMRI and eye movement recordings. In particular, we… read more here.

How childhood maltreatment alters perception and cognition – the predictive processing account of borderline personality disorder

DOI: 10.1017/s0033291722002458
Abstract: Abstract Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a severe mental disorder, comprised of heterogeneous psychological and neurobiological pathologies. Here, we propose a predictive processing (PP) account of BPD to integrate these seemingly unrelated pathologies. In particular,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0140525x17001868
Abstract: Abstract We use the example of art-derived solace to discuss a broader mechanism by which negative affect is instrumental in creating positive appreciation of artworks. Based on the theory of predictive processing, we argue that… read more here.
