“…Indeed, within cognitive science, the study of working memory, of probabilistic reasoning, the emergence of structure in language, strategic response, and navigational behavior is cutting-edge research. In all these areas we have made contributions , Gauvrit et al 2014a, Gauvrit et al 2014b, Gauvrit et al 2014c, Kempe et al 2015, Mathy et al 2014] based upon algorithmic complexity as a useful normative tool, shedding light on mechanisms of cognitive processes. We have proceeded by taking the mind as a form of algorithmic compressor, for the reasons provided in this survey emerging from the simple fact that the mind operates otherwise than through a lookup table and the ways in which the mind manifests biases that seem not to be accounted for but by algorithmic probability based purely on computability theory.…”
