Explanations are central to causal reasoning, and cognitive science has long established that the human drive to explain is itself a mechanism for learning about causality. Despite this, learning from those abductive signals is largely ignored in artificial intelligence. While explainable AI (XAI) increasingly draws on...

Chain-of-thought (CoT) monitoring is only meaningful if written reasoning causally constrains the answer. We introduce continuation-based causal testing, an ablation-patch intervention that perturbs one reasoning step, truncates the chain, and forces the model to continue from the corrupted prefix. It measures how load...
An AI-Augmented Active Aging Framework that explains how conversational AI affordances, responsiveness, personalization, accessibility, and availability, interact with personal, social, environmental, and system-level conversion factors and argues that the primary value of conversational AI lies not in its ability to s...

Biostatistics literacy is essential for evidence-based medicine, yet no instrument specifically measures this competency in medical students. This study aimed to develop a measure of self-perceived biostatistics literacy and conduct an initial psychometric evaluation in samples comprising predominantly early-stag...

Introduction This study examined whether perceived stress and rumination help explain why postgraduate students with higher artificial intelligence (AI) anxiety also report greater academic burnout. Methods We analysed data from a cross-sectional online questionnaire survey conducted among postgraduate students in Guan...
Niche construction emphasizes the active aspect of life forms that alter their environment via feedback loops in which that environment inevitably changes their behavior, structure, and future evolution. We argue that this powerful dynamic is general, extending far beyond typical applications in ecology and evolutionar...
