Supporting Calibrated Reliance in Human-AI Collaboration: Different Strategies for Different Tasks

The study investigates how different AI support formats influence human decision-making across two tasks: abstract visual reasoning with RAVEN matrices and deductive logical reasoning with LSAT problems. Findings reveal that in visual reasoning, predictions alone and predicted probabilities best support accuracy and error recovery, while in logical reasoning, LLM explanations outperform other supports. The results suggest that effective human–AI collaboration requires task‑specific support strategies rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all approach.

A Neuropsychologically Grounded Evaluation of LLM Cognitive Abilities

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.

The Metacognitive Bottleneck: Japanese Riddles Reveal Fundamental Limits of Machine Insight and Self-Evaluation in Reasoning AI

arXiv:2509. 14704v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Benchmark saturation and training-data contamination increasingly obscure whether reported gains in large language models (LLMs) reflect genuine advances in reasoning or familiarity with recurring patterns in benchmark problems.
