#generalizability
"One well-recognized illusion of generalizability arises when researchers mistake Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic (WEIRD) convenience samples as more representative of all humans than they actually are."
First, cognitive science is WEIRD: our participants aren’t sufficiently diverse to generalize across populations. An illusion of generalizability arises when we believe studies of WEIRD participants can generalize to all humans. 4/

Reviews that don’t appropriately evaluate based on the method have been killing me lately. If I had a dollar for every review of a qual paper that criticized a lack of generalizability…
Really unfortunate that a student led project got rejected for AERA b/c one of the reviewers didn’t understand what a design case is. Their feedback was that the lack of empirical data made it a poor proposal - when that’s not a design case feature or requirement.

Limitations include the cross-sectional design and focus on a single cultural context, suggesting the need for further research to validate the generalizability of the results.

How can LLMs advance the cognitive sciences?

@ruimata.bsky.social and I put together a review on how LLMs can help us address five long-standing problems in cognitive science (e.g., disciplinary silos or lack of generalizability).

the poor generalizability of any model output certainly is a function of the structure and redundancy of the training data but i think the greater point here is that human performance isn’t the aspirational goal

Technical sophistication: Research on sparse autoencoders, post-hoc attribution, multimodal reasoning failures, federation for generalizability. The work is moving toward explainability and auditability. Transparency tech advancing in parallel with capability.

At CHIL 2025, discussions emphasized user-centered AI explainability in healthcare, noting that success depends more on workflow integration than technical performance. Strategies such as federated learning aim to enhance machine learning models' generalizability. https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.15217

I get that comparative polisci colleagues are on alert abt the ecological fallacy/generalizability of the NY elections.

I also think there *is* an international politics dimension for all things US and its big and rich cities. Cant forget there's (helas) a hierarchy in the world, and the US matters
