Age-related declines in abstract reasoning ability predict increasing depressive symptoms in subsequent years, according to data from a longitudinal study of older adults in Scotland. The research is ...

A team of Apple researchers has released a paper scrutinising the mathematical reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs), suggesting that while these models can exhibit abstract reasoning ...

A team of Apple researchers has questioned the formal reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs), particularly in mathematics. They found that LLMs exhibit noticeable variance when ...

Connecting ideas in creative ways ...

Apple researchers conducted a study on LLMs to evaluate their mathematical reasoning abilities and found that these models rely on probabilistic pattern-matching, not formal reasoning. They recorded ...

In the complexity of human cognition, the hippocampus stands as a central player, orchestrating more than just the storage of memories. It is a master of inference—a cognitive ability that allows us ...

A study of ancient ostrich eggshells reveals that early humans were capable of advanced geometric thinking, using precise patterns and intricate designs more than 60,000 years ago.
