Recovering Lesion Parameters from Aphasic Picture Naming Error Profiles in Large Language Models

arXiv:2608. 06429v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Interpretability methods for large language models (LLMs) describe internal state but do not directly test whether that state is causally sufficient to produce the observed behavior.

Lesioned Multimodal Language Models Reproduce Aphasic Picture-Naming Patterns

arXiv:2607. 11621v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Aphasia following stroke commonly produces systematic naming errors with characteristic profiles, but whether general-purpose language models not designed for clinical simulation can reproduce these patterns remains untested.
