📣 New preprint 📣 An exciting collaboration with Lei Zhang's lab spearheaded by Aamir Sohail. We use game tasks and models typically used to estimate mentalization ability in humans, and we test them across a variety of commercially available LLMs. arxiv.org/abs/2608.26291

Happy to share our new preprint, "Modeling Environmental Behavior: Lessons from Social Computational Neuroscience". A big thank you to my co-authors @annesaulin.bsky.social, @tony-craig.bsky.social, Caroline Moraes, Yansong Li, Chunliang Feng, and @lei-zhang.bsky.social osf.io/preprints/ps...

@nature.com has published three groundbreaking papers on reproducibility, analytical robustness, and replicability across the social sciences. Sincere thanks are due to the many folks who contributed to these projects. It’s painstaking work, and a great service to social science.

🧵 I gave Claude two things: a short paper (doi.org/10.1073/pnas...) and a raw behavioural dataset with 3 lines of variable descriptions. Then I asked it to fit three computational RL models described only by equations in the manuscript. No code, no toolbox, no guidance on the fitting procedure. 1/3

🧪Preprint! How foragers depart from optimal models can tell us a lot about how they compute their decisions. A strong but underexplored departure is that foragers widely vary when they leave identical patches. A 🧵 doi.org/10.1101/2025... With @emmavscholey.bsky.social @brainapps.bsky.social
