A small cognitive core explains human behavior at scale

Key points

• We assembled a small set of established principles into one model, which we call COntextual Retrieval and Encoding (CORE).1
• CORE consists of a hierarchy of episodic memories into which prediction errors are written and whose encoding, retrieval, and forgetting depend on context.1
• Moreover, its latent variables show classic signatures of Bayesian learning and event segmentation.1
• Taken together, these findings suggest that a small cognitive core accounts for much of human behavior.1
