The role of mental simulation in primate physical inference abilities

2021-01-17

Abstract excerpt

Primates can richly parse sensory inputs to infer latent information, and adjust their behavior accordingly. It has been hypothesized that such flexible inferences are aided by simulations of internal models of the external world. However, evidence supporting this hypothesis has been based on behavioral models that do not emulate neural computations. Here, we test this hypothesis by directly comparing the behavior...
