In cognitive neuroscience, it has been argued that the brain does not passively process sensory information but actively shapes the self and the world by generating predictions through internal models. This “predictive processing” has been shown to play important roles not only in basic processes such as sensation, movement, and perception, but also in higher-order processes such as cognition, emotion, decision-making, and social interactions. The perspective of “predictive processing” could become a predominant theoretical framework for explaining and describing the human mind. Moreover, it is expected to explain how shared mentality is formed among individuals, and how the mentality can change, in the context of time and culture.
This special issue of Psychologia aims at publishing papers that show characteristics and functions of the human mind based on predictions and that explain individual and social behaviors based on the perspective of predictive processing. We welcome papers from interdisciplinary areas, including empirical studies in psychology, cognitive science, and cognitive neuroscience, also theoretical reviews and field studies in sociology, anthropology, philosophy, literature, and history. The guest editor of this special issue is Prof. Dr. Hideki Ohira (see below). Manuscripts should be submitted via Psychologia’s online submission form.
