Psycholinguistic Experiment

Psycholinguistic experiments investigate the cognitive processes underlying language comprehension and production, often using behavioral measures and brain imaging to understand how humans process linguistic information. Current research focuses on leveraging these experimental designs to probe the capabilities of large language models (LLMs), such as GPT-3 and BERT, comparing their performance to human participants across tasks involving humor processing, mutual intelligibility, pronoun resolution, and counterfactual reasoning. These studies aim to improve our understanding of both human language processing and the inner workings of LLMs, potentially leading to more human-like and interpretable AI systems.
