New semantic network paper in @plosone.org with @ruimata.bsky.social at @unibas.ch and @dirkwulff.bsky.social at @arc-mpib.bsky.social!

We ran large-scale simulations to test how well common behavioral tasks measure a person's semantic network.

Measuring individual semantic networks: A simulation study
Accurately capturing individual differences in semantic networks is fundamental to advancing our mechanistic understanding of semantic memory. Past empirical attempts to construct individual-level sem...

Preprint: Individual-level semantic networks are a critical ingredient for building realistic cognitive models. In our simulation, @ruimata.bsky.social, @dirkwulff.bsky.social, and I show when measurements of individual semantic networks are accurate and when they are not.

There's been lots of speculation about potential societal impacts of LLMs 🌍

In a new Nature Human Behaviour (@natureportfolio.bsky.social) article, I and 27 researchers argue that we should be thinking about those impacts through the lens of collective intelligence

Collective intelligence is the basis for group success and is frequently supported by information technology. Burton et al. argue that large language models are transforming information access and tra...
