Lampinen A, Dasgupta I, Chan S, Sheahan H, Creswell A, Kumaran D, et al.
PNAS Nexus . 2024 Jul; 3(7):pgae233. PMID: 39015546
reasoning is a key ability for an intelligent system. Large language models (LMs) achieve above-chance performance on abstract reasoning tasks but exhibit many imperfections. However, human abstract reasoning is also...

Nam A, McClelland J
Open Mind (Camb) . 2024 Mar; 8:148-176. PMID: 38435707
We investigate human adults' ability to learn an abstract reasoning task quickly and to generalize outside of the range of training examples. Using a task based on a solution strategy...

McClelland J
Trends Cogn Sci . 2022 Nov; 26(12):1047-1050. PMID: 36335015
How can artificial neural networks capture the advanced cognitive abilities of pioneering scientists? I suggest they must learn to exploit human-invented tools of thought and human-like ways of using them,...

Li Y, McClelland J
PLoS Comput Biol . 2022 Jun; 18(6):e1009553. PMID: 35709299
When we plan for long-range goals, proximal information cannot be exploited in a blindly myopic way, as relevant future information must also be considered. But when a subgoal must be...

Lampinen A, McClelland J
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2020 Dec; 117(52):32970-32981. PMID: 33303652
An important aspect of intelligence is the ability to adapt to a novel task without any direct experience (zero shot), based on its relationship to previous tasks. Humans can exhibit...

McClelland J, Hill F, Rudolph M, Baldridge J, Schutze H
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2020 Sep; 117(42):25966-25974. PMID: 32989131
Language is crucial for human intelligence, but what exactly is its role? We take language to be a part of a system for understanding and communicating about situations. In humans,...

Testolin A, McClelland J
Psychon Bull Rev . 2020 Sep; 28(1):158-168. PMID: 32949010
Both humans and nonhuman animals can exhibit sensitivity to the approximate number of items in a visual array or events in a sequence, and across various paradigms, uncertainty in numerosity...

McClelland J, McNaughton B, Lampinen A
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci . 2020 Apr; 375(1799):20190637. PMID: 32248773
According to complementary learning systems theory, integrating new memories into the neocortex of the brain without interfering with what is already known depends on a gradual learning process, interleaving new...

Henderson C, McClelland J
Atten Percept Psychophys . 2020 Mar; 82(2):564-584. PMID: 32189233
We present new evidence about illusory conjunctions (ICs) suggesting that their current explanation requires revision. According to Feature Integration Theory (FIT; Treisman & Gelade Cognitive Psychology, 12, 97-136, 1980), focal...

Testolin A, Zou W, McClelland J
Dev Sci . 2020 Jan; 23(5):e12940. PMID: 31977137
Both humans and non-human animals exhibit sensitivity to the approximate number of items in a visual array, as indexed by their performance in numerosity discrimination tasks, and even neonates can...
