Overview

Volume 82 in The Psychology of Learning and Motivation series, the latest release in this ongoing series, features empirical and theoretical contributions in cognitive and experimental psychology, ranging from classical and instrumental conditioning, to complex learning and problem-solving. Chapters in this new release include the genetic and neuronal basis of animal architecture, adopting whole-brain computational modeling to investigate neurophysiological features, Dynamical and robotic modeling of brain motivational and decision-making systems, Attention and consciousness are one and the same, Hierarchical processing in the brain: Insights from predictive coding and its neural signatures, and much more. Additional sections cover Scratching the itch of ""not knowing"": Non-instrumental information-seeking in humans, How do emotions move us? Emotional influence can occur by changing perceivers’ feelings, bodies, and inferences, Cultural bodybuilding: the embodied influence of culture on perception and action, and Beyond dyadic interaction and shared experience: rethinking social connections.
