Recent work suggests that people predict how objects interact in a manner consistent with Newtonian physics, but additional uncertainty. However, the sources of uncertainty have not been examined. In this study, we measure perceptual noise initial conditions and stochasticity physical model used to make predictions. Participants predicted trajectory moving object through occluded motion bounces, compared their behavior an ideal observer model. We found human judgments cannot be captured by...
Many animals, and an increasing number of artificial agents, display sophisticated capabilities to perceive manipulate objects. But human beings remain distinctive in their capacity for flexible, creative tool use—using objects new ways act on the world, achieve a goal, or solve problem. To study this type general physical problem solving, we introduce Virtual Tools game. In game, people large range challenging puzzles just handful attempts. We propose that flexibility solving rests ability...
Recent times have witnessed an increasing number of applications deep neural networks towards solving tasks that require superior cognitive abilities, e.g., playing Go, generating art, question answering (e.g., ChatGPT), etc. Such a dramatic progress raises the question: how generalizable are in problems demand broad skills? To answer this question, we propose SMART: Simple Multimodal Algorithmic Reasoning Task and associated SMART-101 dataset <sup...
In this paper, we investigate how people use mental simulations: do vary the number of simulations that they run in order to optimally balance speed and accuracy? We combined a model noisy physical simulation with decision making strategy called sequential probability ratio test, or SPRT (Wald, 1947). Our predicted should more samples when it is harder make an accurate prediction due higher uncertainty. tested through task which had judge whether ball bouncing box would go hole not. varied...
People can reason intuitively, efficiently, and accurately about everyday physical events. Recent accounts suggest that people use mental simulation to make such intuitive judgments. But models are computationally expensive; how is reasoning relatively accurate, while maintaining computational tractability? We of partial simulation, mentally moving forward in time only parts the world deemed relevant. propose a novel model, test it on conjunction fallacy, recently observed phenomenon...
Abstract ‘Embodied cognition’ suggests that our bodily experiences broadly shape cognitive capabilities. We study how embodied experience affects the abstract physical problem-solving styles people use in a virtual task where embodiment does not affect action compare groups with different – 25 children and 35 adults congenital limb differences versus 45 40 born two hands perform this task, find while there is no difference overall competence, to solutions. People think more before acting but...
For the success of clinical and translational science, a seamless interoperation is required between research information technology. Addressing this need, Michigan Clinical Research Collaboratory (MCRC) was created. The MCRC employed standards-driven Web Services architecture to create U-M Honest Broker, which enabled sharing data among medical disciplines separate institutions. Design objectives were facilitate data, maintain master patient index (MPI), deidentification routing...
From building towers to picking an orange from a stack of fruit, assessing support is critical for successfully interacting with the physical world. But how do people determine whether one object supports another? In this paper, we develop counterfactual simulation model (CSM) causal judgments about support. The CSM predicts that judge by mentally simulating what would happen scene if interest was removed. Three experiments test asking group participants tower blocks were removed, and...
The ability to predict, reason about, and act in the physical world is crucial for human survival, but cognitive systems that underlie these capabilities have been subject of intense debate. Some theories posit reasoning about events based on dynamic mental models approximately simulate underlying mechanisms (e.g., forces incident objects cause them move); others argue simpler heuristics predict key outcomes (e.g.,“objects fall straight down when dropped”). We general requires both...

We report the first gridless networking field trial with flexible spectrum switching nodes over 620 km fibre links. Successful transport, and defragmentation achieved for mixed line signals including 555G coherent 100G.
People make fast and reasonable predictions about the physical behavior of everyday objects. To do so, people may use principled mental shortcuts, such as object simplification, similar to models developed by engineers for real-time simulations. We hypothesize that simplified approximations tracking action (the
Abstract There is a general uncertainty regarding the issues affecting shale stability in gas reservoirs. True swellable smectite not present most of reservoirs currently being exploited. Illite and illite/smectite are principal clay components, they do have distinct fixed water hydration which salinity cation dependent. Historically, two factors had major impact on choices made for rich Today, many hydraulic fracturing treatments conducted with virtually fresh water, so this comprehensive...
