The paper presents a network-based framework that links cognitive skills, LLM architectures, and datasets to uncover the cognitive patterns of Large Language Models. It identifies module communities within LLMs that exhibit skill distributions partially mirroring distributed cognitive organization seen in avian and small mammalian brains, yet distinct from the focalized specialization of specific biological systems. The study highlights that LLM skill acquisition benefits from dynamic, cross-regional interactions and neural plasticity, suggesting fine-tuning should leverage distributed learning dynamics rather than rigid modular interventions.

The paper introduces NeuroCognition, a benchmark based on three neuropsychological tests—Raven's Progressive Matrices, Spatial Working Memory, and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test—to evaluate foundational cognitive abilities in large language models (LLMs). It finds that while LLMs excel on text tasks, their performance drops on image-based and more complex tasks, and they fail different parts of the same tasks compared to humans. NeuroCognition correlates with standard general-capability benchmarks yet measures distinct cognitive skills, highlighting where LLMs align with or diverge from human-like intelligence.
