Metachangemaking
Brandon Reynante, John Wilcox et al.ARTICLEJournal of Moral Education2025
Metachangemaking refers to the cultivation of changemakers—people with the motivation and competence to tackle societal issues and promote collective wellbeing. It is not entirely clear how to effectively cultivate changemakers, and relevant research spans many disparate fields. The goals of this article are to introduce the concept of metachangemaking, synthesize and evaluate some relevant literature which may be less familiar to particular audi…
Learning from outcomes shapes reliance on moral rules versus cost-benefit reasoning
Open AccessMaximilian Maier, Vanessa Cheung et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2025References: 82
Many controversies arise from disagreements between moral rules and 'utilitarian' cost-benefit reasoning (CBR). Here we show how moral learning from consequences can produce individual differences in people's reliance on rules versus CBR. In a new paradigm, participants (total N = 2,328) faced realistic dilemmas between one choice prescribed by a moral rule and one by CBR. The participants observed the consequences of their decision before the ne…

Resource-rational analysis
Open AccessFalk Lieder, Thomas L GriffithsARTICLEBehavioral and Brain Sciences2020
Modeling human cognition is challenging because there are infinitely many mechanisms that can generate any given observation. Some researchers address this by constraining the hypothesis space through assumptions about what the human mind can and cannot do, while others constrain it through principles of rationality and adaptation. Recent work in economics, psychology, neuroscience, and linguistics has begun to integrate both approaches by augmen…

Toward a Rational and Mechanistic Account of Mental Effort
Amitai Shenhav, Sebastian Musslick et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Neuroscience2017
In spite of its familiar phenomenology, the mechanistic basis for mental effort remains poorly understood. Although most researchers agree that mental effort is aversive and stems from limitations in our capacity to exercise cognitive control, it is unclear what gives rise to those limitations and why they result in an experience of control as costly. The presence of these control costs also raises further questions regarding how best to allocate…
