Physics education researchers have advocated for modeling and sensemaking to be part of students' science learning environments as the two processes lead to generation of new knowledge by connecting one's existing ideas. Despite being two distinct processes, modeling is often described as sensemaking of the physical world. In the current work, we p...

Background:
To interact successfully with their environment, humans need to build a model to make sense of noisy and ambiguous inputs. An inaccurate model, as suggested to be the case for people with psychosis, disturbs optimal action selection. Recent computational models, such as active inference, have emphasized the importance of action selecti...
