Modular Cognitive Architecture Emerges in Large Language Models

arXiv:2608. 13567v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The human brain exhibits a striking degree of functional specialization, with distinct networks supporting language, formal reasoning, reasoning about other minds, and reasoning about the physical world.

Unraveling the cognitive patterns of Large Language Models through module communities

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.
