Language model (LM) agents are all the rage now—but they may exhibit cognitive biases when inferring causal relationships!
We evaluate LMs on a cognitive task to find:
- LMs struggle with certain simple causal relationships
- They show biases similar to human adults (but not children)

Fascinating preprint from with our "blicket detector" paradigm from Chen et al at NYU& Mila. LLM's make the same causal inference mistakes that adults make but 4 year olds don't! Of course, models are trained on adult data, kids figure it out for themselves.
