Abstract
Evolution of Social Predictive Brains?
Highlights
A commentary on Whatever next? Predictive brains, situated agents, and the future of cognitive science by Clark, A
We argue that there is already a large body of empirical and theoretical neuroscientific work from neurophysiological, behavioral, and computational perspectives that provide substantial evidence for a fundamental role for predictive mechanisms in the processing of social information and in social interaction
We propose that the evolution of social cognitive processes, or in other words, the evolution of the social brain, has been built upon the increasing complexity of the predictive mechanisms of perception, action, and learning, which Clark outlines in his paper
Summary
A commentary on Whatever next? Predictive brains, situated agents, and the future of cognitive science by Clark, A. (in press). We argue that there is already a large body of empirical and theoretical neuroscientific work from neurophysiological, behavioral, and computational perspectives that provide substantial evidence for a fundamental role for predictive mechanisms in the processing of social information and in social interaction.
