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.

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.
