Active inference treats psychological constructs — perception, attention, emotion, motivation, the self, and social interaction — as inference and action under a generative model, giving psychology a shared formal language for phenomena usually studied in separate sub-disciplines.

Why the domain fits

Perception, affect, motivation, and selfhood can each be cast as inference problems: estimating hidden causes of sensory and interoceptive signals and acting to realise preferred states. The framework connects individual cognition to dyads and groups, and recasts psychopathology as aberrant priors, precision, or generative-model structure rather than isolated symptoms.

Application pattern

A domain report should distinguish generative models of cognition/affect/self, policy selection and motivation via expected free energy, interoception and emotion regulation, hierarchical models of control and social interaction, and learning as model revision (including psychotherapeutic change). The SPM and pymdp ecosystems provide the canonical computational scaffolding.

Evidence to collect next

The next pass should separate reviewed theory from empirical and clinical work, and prioritise model validation, parameter identifiability, scaling from individuals to dyads and groups, and ethics/interpretability for clinical decision support. Experimental paradigms and datasets should be catalogued alongside the models they test.
