The ability to form and break habits is an evolutionary adaptation that allows animals to automate complex tasks, significantly reducing mental effort and preserving cognitive resources for survival.

A photo of a flock of sheep.
Sheep don't know:
That they're sheep (mammals)
That they're breathing oxygen.
That they're on a planet.
Why the grass is green & the sky is blue.
How the sun shines & why day turns to night.
However, sheep do implicitly "know', that safety comes in numbers. That humans are a threat. How to care, therefore, try to protect their young.
Sheep generally behave instinctively ("gut feelings". I.e., the nervous system).

Like humans, an #AI exhibited a logical content effect:
it was better at #logic when the tasks were about 'realistic" (rather than more abstract or "arbitrary") stuff.
Ishita Dasgupta presented the #DeepMind team's results.
Free copy of the paper: https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2207.07051
This could be a glimpse at a new human-vs-AI #comparativePsychology.
Example: This context effect emerged from a monolithic system. What does this say about #DualProcess theories/debates?

Finally found out how to follow hashtags and starting to feel like I'm getting the hang of this. So, time for a re-#introduction: I work in #philosophy, where I specialise in #AnimalCognition, #AnimalEthics, #AnimalBehavior, #PhilosophyOfAnimalMinds. I work interdisciplinarily and aim to be in a dialogue with folks from #Ethology and #ComparativePsychology. I'm also interested in #BehavioralEcology, #Evolution, #AnimalWelfare, #AnimalStudies, and all things #Science. Happy to be here! :)
