Mindfulness in Relationships
Preference‐Based Representations for Collective Agency
Computational accounts of learning and decision‐making in cognitive systems, and models thereof, such as reinforcement learning, typically assume that the behavior of individual agents is determined by an externally designated reward signal such that the agent's goal is the maximization of its expected accumulated reward under the state dynamics of the world. Such frameworks, therefore, struggle to explain how coordinated behavior emerges in coll…
Beyond the attention economy, towards an ecology of attending. A manifesto
We endorse policymakers’ efforts to address the negative consequences of the attention economy’s technology but add that these approaches are often limited in their criticism of the systemic context of human attention. Starting from Buddhist philosophy, we advocate a broader approach: an ‘ecology of attending’ that centers on conceptualizing, designing, and using attention (1) in an embedded way and (2) focused on the alleviating of suffering. Wi…
Sticky” thinking disrupts decision making for individuals with a tendency toward worry and depression
Depressed individuals are commonly known to suffer from low mood. Less attention is paid to their decision-making deficiencies, consisting of indecisiveness and biased judgments. Many theories attempt to explain these impairments by focusing on reduced sensitivity to reward and punishment or biased information processing. Beyond these accounts, the present study explores another scenario, namely, whether the occurrence of sticky thinking-the occu…
The wandering self
Mind the Hype
During the past two decades, mindfulness meditation has gone from being a fringe topic of scientific investigation to being an occasional replacement for psychotherapy, tool of corporate well-being, widely implemented educational practice, and "key to building more resilient soldiers." Yet the mindfulness movement and empirical evidence supporting it have not gone without criticism. Misinformation and poor methodology associated with past studies…
Control over experience? Magnitude of the attentional blink depends on meditative state
