Researchers introduced NeuroCognition, a new benchmark for evaluating LLMs based on neuropsychological tests, revealing that while models show unified capability across tasks, they struggle with foundational cognitive abilities. The study found LLMs perform well on text but degrade with images and complexity, suggesting current models lack core adaptive cognition compared to human intelligence.
Researchers found that narrow finetuning of Large Language Models leaves detectable traces in model activations that can reveal information about the training domain.
