| Abstract | Unlike artificial intelligence systems, humans are capable of flexibly adapting to their environment, producing novel goal-directed behaviors that are appropriate for a situation. For example, with the goal of doing well on an exam, a student might enact some effective study strategies, while also avoiding distraction from things like social media. Psychologists and neuroscientists have called the set of processes that support this capacity “cognitive control.” This project aims to develop and t |
