On the Rational Bounds of Human Cognition
Abstract: Humans are remarkably limited in the number of tasks they can execute simultaneously. This limitation is not only apparent in daily life, it is also a universal assumption of most theories of human cognition. Yet, a rationale for why the human brain is subject to this constraint remains elusive. In this talk, I will draw on insights from neuroscience, psychology, and machine learning to suggest that limitations in the brain’s ability to multitask result from a fundamental computational dilemma in neural architectures. Through graph-theoretic analysis, neural network simulation, and behavioral experimentation, I will demonstrate that neural systems face a tradeoff between learning efficiency (promoted through the shared use of neural representations across tasks) and multitasking capability (achieved through the separation of neural representations between tasks). Theoretical analyses show that it can be optimal for a neural system to prioritize efficient learning of single tasks at the expense of its ability to execute them simultaneously, across a broad range of conditions. These results suggest that our inability to multitask reflects a rational solution to a fundamental computational dilemma faced by neural architectures. I will demonstrate that this tradeoff can explain a variety of behavioral and neural phenomena related to human multitasking and conclude by outlining consequential computational dilemmas that may help explain other, seemingly irrational constraints on human cognition.

Spoken word recognition in less-than-ideal conditions: The effect of aging, severe hearing loss, and individual differences in inhibitory control
Abstract: While recognizing spoken words, listeners must quickly and efficiently map the input to lexical representations. To deal with the temporary ambiguity that results as speech unfolds over time, potential candidates compete for activation until enough of the word is heard to activate the correct target. Under ideal circumstances, this lexical competition is thought to be largely internal to the language system. However, it’s possible that domain-general cognitive resources are recruited to help resolve competition in challenging conditions. In this talk, I’ll examine how lexical competition is affected by less-than-ideal listening conditions, namely in aging and severe hearing loss. Older adults experience a broad variety of cognitive declines, but vocabulary knowledge remains a noted strength. Despite this, they often report difficulties following conversations, suggesting declines to the cognitive processes supporting language. Individuals with hearing loss, on the other hand, must learn to deal with a severely degraded signal. Using the Visual World Paradigm, we asked how the dynamics of lexical competition change in the face of cognitive and peripheral declines. We also investigated whether domain-general inhibitory control is recruited to compensate for difficulties with word recognition. Our results suggest that both age and hearing loss impact the activation of lexical targets, and that inhibitory control is deployed differently to support word recognition depending on a listener’s hearing status. This work highlights the need to better understand how domain-general resources can be incorporated into models of spoken word recognition.

Multiple objects limit object recognition
Abstract: Our daily environment contains many diverse objects, and hidden image games such as "Where's Waldo?" illustrate the challenge of recognizing multiple simultaneously viewed objects. In this talk, I assess how multiple objects limit recognition performance, characterize whether the limiting processes are serial, and propose how such processes might be reflected in underlying brain activity. In the first part of the talk, I present evidence that judgments of multiple objects substantially limit recognition. These findings help establish which aspects of object-based tasks contribute to the observed performance limits. Interestingly, there are conditions in which the limits are consistent with serial processes; that is, processing is limited to only one object at a time. In the last part of the talk, I propose a study pursuing how brain activity in regions subserving visual object recognition might correlate with serial processing.
