In the complexity of human cognition, the hippocampus stands as a central player, orchestrating more than just the storage of memories. It is a master of inference—a cognitive ability that allows us ...

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. AI has gotten pretty good at completing specific tasks, but it’s still a long way from having general intelligence, the kind of all around smarts that would let AI navigate the ...

A team of Apple researchers has released a paper scrutinising the mathematical reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs), suggesting that while these models can exhibit abstract reasoning ...

Can artificial intelligence (AI) pass cognitive puzzles designed for human IQ tests? The results were mixed. Researchers from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering Information Sciences Institute (ISI) ...

Apple researchers conducted a study on LLMs to evaluate their mathematical reasoning abilities and found that these models rely on probabilistic pattern-matching, not formal reasoning. They recorded ...

Age-related declines in abstract reasoning ability predict increasing depressive symptoms in subsequent years, according to data from a longitudinal study of older adults in Scotland. Age-related ...
