Predictive Processing theories hold that the mind's core aim is to minimize prediction-error about its experiences. But prediction-error minimization can be 'hacked', by placing oneself in highly predictable environments where nothing happens. Recent philosophical work suggests that this is a surprisingly serious challenge, highlighting the obstacles facing 'theories-of-everything' in psychology.
预测加工理论认为,大脑的核心目标是最小化其体验的预测误差。但是,通过将自己置身于几乎没有任何事情发生的高度可预测环境中,可以对预测误差最小化进行“攻击”。最近的哲学工作表明,这是一个令人惊讶的严重挑战,突出了心理学中“一切理论”面临的障碍。
