... and methods to systematically quantify the relative importance of energy minimization and other key objectives (see ‘Evidence that preferred behaviours coincide with energy optima’). Here, as some have begun to do ( Carlisle and Kuo, 2023 ; Skinner et al., 2015 ), energy expenditure can be used as a ‘common...

... mass and morphology, but also because of the properties of the pole they carry. As such, participants may adapt differently depending on the pole, even if energy minimization is the overarching optimization goal. Each panel in Fig. 6 has three cost curves. The blue curve indicates cost...
