Planning in Nonhuman Primates Emerges from Structure Knowledge and is Distinct from Attention, Working Memory, Effort Control, and Learning

2026-07-19

Abstract excerpt

Forward planning involves mentally simulating future choices. Such mental simulation may constitute an independent cognitive operation, or it may be intricately linked to canonical cognitive operations supporting working memory of choice options, covert attentional information sampling, forming memory models of problem structure and effort control for pursuing future goals. Here, we test the relative independence...
