Survival Decisions in a Multidimensional World

2023-04-19

Abstract excerpt

<p>A fundamental challenge for humans—and other animals—is to survive in response to a natural diversity of dangers. Here, we provide a new perspective called Adaptive Threat Coding (ATC), where human defensive behavior is constructed in response to sensory, inferential, internal and subjective states that facilitate survival in a multidimensional landscape of danger. In humans, these states are guided by culture...
