Zenons Demon and the Denial of Domain-Generality for Transformer-Based Computational Models of Human Behavior
Mark Orr, Edward A. Cranford, Ken Ford +6
Transformer-based models of human behavior (e.g., the Centaur model by Binz, et al., 2025) posit to be domain general computational models of human behavior. The claim of domain-ge…

Not Even Wrong: On the Limits of Prediction as Explanation in Cognitive Science
Mark Orr, Drew Cranford, Ken Ford +6
We offer a comment on the Centaur (Binz et al., 2025) transformer-based model of human behavior. In particular, Centaur was cast as a path towards unified theories of cognition. We…

Fitting, Evaluating, and Comparing Cognitive Architecture Models Using Likelihood: A Primer With Examples in ACT-R
Andrea Stocco, Konstantinos Mitsopoulos, Yuxue C. Yang +4
Cognitive architectures are influential, integrated computational frameworks for modeling cognitive processes. Due to a variety of factors, however, researchers using cognitive arc…
