Not Even Wrong: On the Limits of Prediction as Explanation in Cognitive Science
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
We offer a comment on the Centaur (Binz et al., 2025) transformer-based model of human behavior. In particular, Centaur was cast as a path towards unified theories of cognition. We offer a counter claim with supporting argument: Centaur is a path divergent from unified theories of cognition, one that moves towards a unified model of behavior sans cognition.
