Neural superstatistics for Bayesian estimation of dynamic cognitive models

L Schumacher, PC Bürkner, A Voss, U Köthe… - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
Mathematical models of cognition are often memoryless and ignore potential fluctuations of
their parameters. However, human cognition is inherently dynamic. Thus, we propose to …

An extension of the shifted Wald model of human response times: Capturing the time dynamic properties of human cognition: Trial-varying Wald model

ZL Howard, EL Fox, NJ Evans, S Loft… - Psychonomic Bulletin & …, 2024 - Springer

The Bayesian Mutation Sampler explains distributions of causal judgments

IR Kolvoort, N Temme, L van Maanen - Open Mind, 2023 - direct.mit.edu
One consistent finding in the causal reasoning literature is that causal judgments are rather
variable. In particular, distributions of probabilistic causal judgments tend not to be normal …
