The study investigates how large language models (LLMs) can assist humans in semantic memory search tasks. By using the semantic fluency task (SFT), the researchers evaluate whether LLMs can follow and enhance human mental trajectories during generative semantic retrieval. Results show that an LLM’s ability to track and predict human memory trajectories in this task surpasses that of other humans.
The article reports that large language models can predict and collaboratively modulate human memory search during a semantic fluency task. By tracking and forecasting participants’ semantic retrieval patterns, the models outperform other humans in following these mental trajectories. This suggests that AI can serve as a cognitive tool to extend human abilities in open‑ended conceptual exploration and creative ideation.

The paper extends mechanistic interpretability of large language models by modeling concepts as low‑dimensional non‑linear manifolds rather than linear subspaces. It introduces a concept‑based alignment (CBA) score to compare these manifolds across layers and models, revealing block structures in intermediate layers, a shift from syntax‑dominated to mixed syntactic‑semantic concepts, and training‑dependent multilingual sharing. The study also shows that alignment patterns differ across model families and training stages, with adjacent stages aligning more closely than distant ones.
