Candace Walkington; Mitchell J. Nathan; Min Wang; Kelsey Schenck – Grantee Submission, 2022
Theories of grounded and embodied cognition offer a range of accounts of how reasoning and body-based processes are related to each other. To advance theories of grounded and embodied cognition, we explore the "cognitive relevance" of particular body states to associated math concepts. We test competing models of action-cognition…

Katsikopoulos, Konstantinos V.; Schooler, Lael J.; Hertwig, Ralph – Psychological Review, 2010
Heuristics embodying limited information search and noncompensatory processing of information can yield robust performance relative to computationally more complex models. One criticism raised against heuristics is the argument that complexity is hidden in the calculation of the cue order used to make predictions. We discuss ways to order cues…
