Abstract

There exists an underexplored correlation between intelligence and perceptual discrimination. Perceptual discrimination can be understood through the concept of precision in predictive processing. Precision governs the weighting of sensory inputs and prediction errors, shaping how effectively an individual can extract meaningful information from their environment. We here propose a link between intelligence and precision, arguing that the ability to dynamically regulate precision is a key determinant of intelligent behavior. This perspective bridges individual cognitive differences with broader theoretical models of human brain functioning, offering a more comprehensive understanding of how intelligence manifests in biological systems.

迈向生物智能理论

智力和知觉歧视之间存在着未被充分探索的相关性。感知辨别可以通过预测处理中的精度概念来理解。精确度决定了感官输入和预测误差的权重，决定了个人从环境中提取有意义信息的效率。我们在这里提出了智能和精度之间的联系，认为动态调节精度的能力是智能行为的关键决定因素。这一观点将个体认知差异与更广泛的人类大脑功能理论模型联系起来，为智力在生物系统中的表现提供了更全面的理解。

期刊介绍： New Ideas in Psychology is a journal for theoretical psychology in its broadest sense. We are looking for new and seminal ideas, from within Psychology and from other fields that have something to bring to Psychology. We welcome presentations and criticisms of theory, of background metaphysics, and of fundamental issues of method, both empirical and conceptual. We put special emphasis on the need for informed discussion of psychological theories to be interdisciplinary. Empirical papers are accepted at New Ideas in Psychology, but only as long as they focus on conceptual issues and are theoretically creative. We are also open to comments or debate, interviews, and book reviews.
