Large Language Model Displays Emergent Ability to Interpret Novel Literary Metaphors Open
Despite the exceptional performance of large language models (LLMs) on a wide range of tasks involving natural language processing and reasoning, there has been sharp disagreement as to whether their abilities extend to more creative human…

Advancing with age: Older adults excel in comprehension of novel metaphors. Open
Older adults may experience certain forms of cognitive decline, but some forms of semantic memory remain intact in older age. To address how metaphor comprehension changes with age and whether metaphor comprehension relies more heavily on …

Advancing with Age: Older Adults Excel in Comprehension of Novel Metaphors Open
To address controversy concerning whether metaphor comprehension relies more heavily on analogical reasoning (supported by fluid intelligence) or on conceptual combination (supported by crystalized intelligence), we compared performance of…

Two Computational Approaches to Visual Analogy: Task‐Specific Models Versus Domain‐General Mapping Open
Advances in artificial intelligence have raised a basic question about human intelligence: Is human reasoning best emulated by applying task‐specific knowledge acquired from a wealth of prior experience, or is it based on the domain‐genera…

Large Language Model Displays Emergent Ability to Interpret Novel Literary Metaphors Open
Recent advances in the performance of large language models (LLMs) have sparked debate over whether, given sufficient training, high-level human abilities emerge in such generic forms of artificial intelligence (AI). Despite the exceptiona…

From Semantic Vectors to Analogical Mapping Open
Human reasoning goes beyond knowledge about individual entities, extending to inferences based on relations between entities. Here we focus on the use of relations in verbal analogical mapping, sketching a general approach based on assessi…

Probabilistic analogical mapping with semantic relation networks. Open
The human ability to flexibly reason using analogies with domain-general content depends on mechanisms for identifying relations between concepts, and for mapping concepts and their relations across analogs. Building on a recent model of h…

Predicting patterns of similarity among abstract semantic relations. Open
Although models of word meanings based on distributional semantics have proved effective in predicting human judgments of similarity among individual concepts, it is less clear whether or how such models might be extended to account for ju…

Visual analogy: Deep learning versus compositional models Open
Is analogical reasoning a task that must be learned to solve from scratch by applying deep learning models to massive numbers of reasoning problems? Or are analogies solved by computing similarities between structured representations of an…

Perception of continuous movements from causal actions Open
We see the world as continuous: given stationary frames as inputs, we perceive smooth movements of objects. The perceptual construction of smooth movements depends not only on low-level spatiotemporal features, but also high-level knowledg…

Mothers know best: redirecting adolescent reward sensitivity toward safe behavior during risk taking Open
Despite being one of the healthiest developmental periods, morbidity and mortality rates increase dramatically during adolescence, largely due to preventable, risky behaviors. Heightened reward sensitivity, coupled with ineffective cogniti…
