„Cognitive behavior of humans and animals: Introducing a situation model framework”

Cognitive behavior of humans and animals can be defined by the two key features of flexibility and context-sensitivity. In my talk, I will sketch a framework for understanding cognitive behavior (Schneider et al., 2020) based on the following focus perspectives: (1) action control approaches to habitual and cognitive behavior (2) “Two systems” for thought and action (3) capacity-limited working memory and attentional control, and (4) cognitive maps. Based on these perspectives, the concept of a behavioral episode will be introduced within our overarching framework of “situation models”. The flexible set-up, testing (e.g., simulation), and fast learning of such episodes are suggested to serve as the mechanistic basics of flexible and context-sensitive behavior.
