Blind ignorance or rational inattention? On the history and future of metabolic considerations for cognitive models.

Abstract

We build upon Haueis and Colaço's account in two ways. First, we argue that the backgrounding of metabolism was a pragmatic response to a data granularity problem faced by traditional cognitive modelers. Then, we suggest that equivalence demonstrations offer a promising pathway for incrementally introducing metabolic considerations into extant modeling practice.
