Probabilistic models in human sensorimotor control.
TL;DR: Results that suggest the authors plan movements based on statistics of their actions that result from signal-dependent noise on their motor outputs are reviewed, providing a statistical framework for how the motor system performs in the presence of uncertainty.

If I Were You: Perceptual Illusion of Body Swapping
TL;DR: Manipulation of the visual perspective, in combination with the receipt of correlated multisensory information from the body was sufficient to trigger the illusion that another person's body or an artificial body was one's own.
Reconstructing constructivism: Causal models, Bayesian learning mechanisms, and the theory theory.
Alison Gopnik,Henry M. Wellman +1 more
TL;DR: A new version of the "theory theory" grounded in the computational framework of probabilistic causal models and Bayesian learning is proposed, which explains the learning of both more specific causal hypotheses and more abstract framework theories.
Cognitive computational neuroscience
TL;DR: The authors review recent work at the intersection of cognitive science, computational neuroscience and artificial intelligence that develops and tests computational models mimicking neural and cognitive function during a wide range of tasks.

TL;DR: This consensus paper summarizes the impressive empirical evidence on this problem and highlights diversities as well as commonalities between existing hypotheses into the influence of the cerebellum on sensory perception.
Scientific Thinking in Young Children: Theoretical Advances, Empirical Research, and Policy Implications
TL;DR: Recent cognitive development findings that demonstrate how preschoolers act as young scientists in refining their intuitive representations of the world as they explore reality suggest both that early childhood experience is extremely important and that the trend toward more structured and academic early childhood programs is misguided.

Humans integrate visual and haptic information in a statistically optimal fashion.
TL;DR: The nervous system seems to combine visual and haptic information in a fashion that is similar to a maximum-likelihood integrator, and this model behaved very similarly to humans in a visual–haptic task.

The coordination of arm movements: an experimentally confirmed mathematical model.
Tamar Flash,Neville Hogan +1 more
TL;DR: A mathematical model is formulated which is shown to predict both the qualitative features and the quantitative details observed experimentally in planar, multijoint arm movements, and is successful only when formulated in terms of the motion of the hand in extracorporal space.
