  • Task imprinting

    Open AccessMirko Thalmann, Theo A J Schäfer et al.ARTICLECognitive Psychology2024

    Research from several areas suggests that mental representations adapt to the specific tasks we carry out in our environment. In this study, we propose a mechanism of adaptive representational change, task imprinting. Thereby, we introduce a computational model, which portrays task imprinting as an adaptation to specific task goals via selective storage of helpful representations in long-term memory. We test the main qualitative prediction of the…

  • Using cognitive psychology to understand GPT-3

    Open AccessMarcel Binz, Emily Schulz et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2023

    We study GPT-3, a recent large language model, using tools from cognitive psychology. More specifically, we assess GPT-3’s decision-making, information search, deliberation, and causal reasoning abilities on a battery of canonical experiments from the literature. We find that much of GPT-3’s behavior is impressive: It solves vignette-based tasks similarly or better than human subjects, is able to make decent decisions from descriptions, outperfor…

  • Communicating Compositional Patterns

    Open AccessEmily Schulz, Eric Schulz et al.ARTICLEOpen MIND2020

    How do people perceive and communicate structure? We investigate this question by letting participants play a communication game, where one player describes a pattern, and another player redraws it based on the description alone. We use this paradigm to compare two models of pattern description, one compositional (complex structures built out of simpler ones) and one noncompositional. We find that compositional patterns are communicated more effe…

  • Measuring Risk Literacy

    Open AccessEdward T Cokely, M Galesic et al.ARTICLEJudgment and Decision Making2012

    We introduce the Berlin Numeracy Test, a new psychometrically sound instrument that quickly assesses statistical numeracy and risk literacy. We present 21 studies ( n =5336) showing robust psychometric discriminability across 15 countries (e.g., Germany, Pakistan, Japan, USA) and diverse samples (e.g., medical professionals, general populations, Mechanical Turk web panels). Analyses demonstrate desirable patterns of convergent validity (e.g., num…
