arXiv:2510. 04391v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Mental imagery vividness is a stable individual trait, yet whether imagined scenarios share relational structure across human and synthetic large language model (LLM) populations remains unknown.
arXiv:2607. 16214v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image descriptions represented with language models (LMs) predict human brain responses to naturalistic images in high-level visual regions, but the factors driving this predictivity remain unclear.
arXiv:2604. 03480v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Creative thinking is a fundamental aspect of human cognition, and divergent thinking-the capacity to generate novel and varied ideas-is widely regarded as its core generative engine.
Claims about the universality of human concepts have been predominantly assessed through linguistic similarity across languages and cultures. However, words are effective as communication devices because they compress rich experiential variation into shared conventions, potentially obscuring hidden individual and cultural differences in how concepts are mentally represented.
arXiv:2603. 04419v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We characterize the phenomenon of context-dependent affordance computation in vision-language models (VLMs).
arXiv:2511. 21731v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present the results of cognitive tests on conceptual combinations, performed using specific Large Language Models (LLMs) as test subjects.
arXiv:2409. 01754v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: From the printing press to social media, innovations in communication technology have repeatedly reshaped how ideas spread through human culture.
arXiv:2604. 19139v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As Large Language Models (LLMs) continue to evolve through alignment techniques such as Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) and Constitutional AI, a growing and increasingly conspicuous phenomenon has emerged: the proliferation of verbal tics--repetitive, formulaic linguistic patterns that pervade model outputs.
arXiv:2606. 17389v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Foundation Models are increasingly used as reasoning agents, making reliability, knowing when a model may hallucinate, critical.
arXiv:2510. 24342v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Prior brain-AI alignment studies are typically constrained by specific inputs and tasks, limiting their ability to capture organizational properties across models with different modalities.
Creativity is a complex cognitive ability that relies on knowledge organisation and retrieval from semantic memory. Yet most research uses a single task to measure it, capturing only a fraction of this complexity.
arXiv:2606. 07541v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown strong performance on objective tasks such as video understanding and reasoning.
arXiv:2607. 27824v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLMs encode, convey, and perpetuate stereotypes.
