New CORE Model Explains Human Behavior Using Integrated Cognitive Principles

Researchers have developed a computational model called COntextual Retrieval and Encoding (CORE) that integrates established psychological principles to explain human behavior. This model, fitted to over 7 million choices from 137 experiments, demonstrates superior predictive power compared to black-box models and successfully reproduces a significant majority of documented behavioral effects. The CORE model's internal mechanisms exhibit characteristics of Bayesian learning and event segmentation, suggesting a foundational cognitive core underlies much of human decision-making and behavior. AI

IMPACT This model's success in explaining human behavior could inform the development of more sophisticated AI systems capable of understanding and predicting human actions.

    A small cognitive core explains human behavior at scale

    arXiv:2610.13603v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Psychology has proposed many principles of cognition. Each, however, was developed in isolation, leaving their combined explanatory power unknown. We assembled a small set of established principles into one model, which we call COnt…
