Broca's area is not a natural kind
E Fedorenko, IA Blank - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2020 - cell.com
Theories of human cognition prominently feature 'Broca's area', which causally contributes to
a myriad of mental functions. However, Broca's area is not a monolithic, multipurpose unit – …

Dissociating language and thought in large language models: a cognitive perspective
Today's large language models (LLMs) routinely generate coherent, grammatical and
seemingly meaningful paragraphs of text. This achievement has led to speculation that these …

[HTML][HTML] What are large language models supposed to model?
IA Blank - Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2023 - cell.com
Do large language models (LLMs) constitute a computational account of how humans
process language? And if so, what is the role of (psycho)linguistic theory in understanding the …

Dissociating language and thought in large language models
Large language models (LLMs) have come closest among all models to date to mastering
human language, yet opinions about their linguistic and cognitive capabilities remain split. …

fMRI reveals language-specific predictive coding during naturalistic sentence comprehension
Much research in cognitive neuroscience supports prediction as a canonical computation of
cognition across domains. Is such predictive coding implemented by feedback from higher-…

[HTML][HTML] Probabilistic atlas for the language network based on precision fMRI data from> 800 individuals
Two analytic traditions characterize fMRI language research. One relies on averaging activations
across individuals. This approach has limitations: because of inter-individual variability …

Lack of selectivity for syntax relative to word meanings throughout the language network
To understand what you are reading now, your mind retrieves the meanings of words and
constructions from a linguistic knowledge store (lexico-semantic processing) and identifies the …
