Theory of Sub-entropic Attention: Quantifying the Predictability of Stimuli

2025-10-23

Abstract excerpt

<p>In this study, we introduce the theoretical concepts and test the empirical predictions of the Theory of Sub-entropic Attention (TSA), a novel framework for modelling subjective entropy (Sub-en) in human predictive behaviour. TSA posits that humans implicitly employ Higher Order Markov Models (HOMMs) of individualised orders to predict the next symbol in binary sequences. The internal beliefs of such models ena...
