LLMs and Math Combine to Map Human Decision-Making

A new research framework that combines large language models (LLMs) with choice mathematics to evaluate human decision-making. By deploying LLMs to automatically interpret and code thousands of free-text participant thought justifications, the framework provides a scalable, validated methodology demonstrating that human reasoning strategies shift dynamically with a problem's structure.

Human Memory Limits Make AI Better at Grammar

Researchers have developed "fleeting memory transformers" that integrate human-like memory decay and a 3-to-7 word echoic buffer into neural networks, proving that restricting an AI's context window forces it to prioritize abstract grammar over literal memorization, drastically improving low-data language learning.

AI Intelligence Is Not Consciousness

As chatbots become increasingly fluent and emotionally attuned, the researchers warn of an "anthropomorphism trap," urging users to view AI as a powerful tool rather than an empathetic substitute for genuine human connection or professional care.
