用自然情境数据训练认知模型,让理论更贴近真实行为。

Naturalistic Computational Cognitive Science: Towards generalizable models and theories that capture the full range of natural behavior

  • 结合自然刺激与真实任务,构建可泛化的认知计算模型
  • 自然数据训练出的行为模式与传统实验差异显著
  • 适合关注真实认知过程与跨领域融合的研究者

认知科学如何建立能覆盖自然情境与行为全谱的通用理论?我们提出,人工智能的进展为认知科学提供了契机:采用日益自然化的刺激、任务和行为实验,以及能够适应这些变化的计算模型。我们回顾了神经科学、认知科学与人工智能交叉研究,表明引入更广泛的自然化实验范式及相应模型,有助于揭示自然智能本质并确保理论泛化性。已有案例显示,自然化范式会引发独特行为或激活不同认知过程。近期人工智能进展表明,从自然数据中学习会产生质异的行为模式与泛化能力,这改变了我们对认知建模结果的理解,并可能揭示认知与神经现象的根源。我们主张整合人工智能与认知科学最新成果,在保持实验控制与理论深度的前提下,探索更自然的认知现象。本文还提供方法论建议,推动自然化计算认知科学的累积进步,迈向解决真实认知问题的模型,并实现对其内在机制与原理的还原性理解。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

How can cognitive science build generalizable theories that span the full scope of natural situations and behaviors? We argue that progress in Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers timely opportunities for cognitive science to embrace experiments with increasingly naturalistic stimuli, tasks, and behaviors; and computational models that can accommodate these changes. We first review a growing body of research spanning neuroscience, cognitive science, and AI that suggests that incorporating a broader range of naturalistic experimental paradigms, and models that accommodate them, may be necessary to resolve some aspects of natural intelligence and ensure that our theories generalize. We review cases from cognitive science and neuroscience where naturalistic paradigms elicit distinct behaviors or engage different processes. We then discuss recent progress in AI that shows that learning from naturalistic data yields qualitatively different patterns of behavior and generalization, and examine how these findings impact the conclusions we draw from cognitive modeling, and can help yield new hypotheses for the roots of cognitive and neural phenomena. We then suggest that integrating recent progress in AI and cognitive science will enable us to engage with more naturalistic phenomena without giving up experimental control or the pursuit of theoretically grounded understanding. We offer practical guidance on how methodological practices can contribute to cumulative progress in naturalistic computational cognitive science, and illustrate a path towards building computational models that solve the real problems of natural cognition, together with a reductive understanding of the processes and principles by which they do so.
