Cracking the multidimensionality of cognition with cross-domain transfer

2026-08-06

Abstract excerpt

<p>Higher-order cognition emerges from the interaction of multiple cognitive processes, yet these processes remain difficult to measure during ongoing task performance. Recent work across humans, non-human animals, and artificial neural networks suggests that cognition is compositional and that cognitive processes are represented by abstract, reusable neural representations that generalize across tasks. These find...
