Psychology wants a unified theory of cognition. So far, no deal. By using generative AI and LLMs as a model of cognition, maybe we'll get there. Here's the inside scoop.
Psychology is aiming to develop a unified theory of cognition, and the hope is that generative AI and LLMs could serve as a suitable model.In today’s column, I examine the ongoing pursuit by psychology to devise a unified theory of cognition. The deal is this. There have been numerous attempts that have been floated regarding proposed unified theories or models of cognition.
Those off-the-shelf LLMs are ready-made for experimenting on psychology-based premises. I recently explained how contemporary generative AI is devised to react to psychological ploys and techniques, an intriguing facet that is both helpful and potentially hurtful, see my coverage at The bottom line is that an instant criticism of any cognition research that dovetails into LLMs is that you are starting at a recognized point of heated contention. Namely, a cogent argument is that since ANNs are not the same as true NNs, you are building your cognition hopes on somewhat of a house of cards.
“An important step towards a unified theory of cognition is to build a computational model that can predict and simulate human behavior in any domain. In this paper, we take up this challenge and introduce Centaur -- a foundation model of human cognition.” Handily, the researchers have opted to make the dataset available, known as Psych-101, and can be accessed freely on Huggingface. In addition, they have nicely made available the augmented Meta Llama model, which they refer to as Centaur, and which is also freely available on Huggingface.
