- Reposted by Tim VickeryAny early-career researchers in #workingmemory wanting to contribute to an #openscience initiative? I'm looking for help building up a data hub resource for the field.

In a new preprint led by Morgan McCarty—our lab's wonderful RA—we develop a new approach to this old cognitive science question and find that LLMs excel at tasks thought to be solvable only via visual imagery. 🧵
- I’m out of ideas. Let’s fit a drift diffusion model and then put weird interpretations on the parameters. I love being so theory driven!
- We’re at a 8 out of 10 on the Brawndo It’s What Plants Crave scale of stupid
