- W2524581285 abstract "Rational cognitive theories posit that organismsact to optimize utility. This capacity depends on generatingaccurate predictions about the future – which, in turn, requiresaccurate mental models of the world. Adults' decisions are guidedby their substantial experience in the world's chain of causality.Very young children, however, possess comparatively less data. Inthis dissertation, I study decision-making mechanisms in youngchildren and non-human-primates across multiple domains – includingvisual attention and overt choice – in order to discover theefficacy and limitations of rational cognitive theories. I presentempirical evidence that learners rely on utility maximization bothto build complex models of the world starting from very littleknowledge and, more generally, to guide their decisions andbehavior. Four experiments were conducted on 4-year-olds,7-month-olds, and monkeys using visual and auditory stimulipresented in sequences of events. These experiments show thatchildren are capable of rational decisions to optimize futureutility and exhibit a U-shaped relationship between stimuluscomplexity and attention. Similarly, monkeys' attentional patternsare guided by stimulus complexity." @default.
