Extending models of "How Foraging Works": Uncertainty, controllability, and survivability

Behav Brain Sci. 2019 Jan:42:e43. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X18002017.

Abstract

We argue that How Foraging Works sketches a good foundational model, but it needs expanding to incorporate hierarchical and multiscale conceptions of uncertainty and to incorporate inference of environmental controllability. Most pressingly, its algorithmic implementation needs to be better justified in terms of its functional forms and, ultimately, to be more heavily constrained by survival optimality.
