arXiv:2511.00206v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Cognitive science faces ongoing challenges in research integration, formalization, conceptual clarity, and other areas, in part due to its multifaceted and interdisciplinary nature. Recent advances in artificial intelligence, particularly the development of language models, offer tools that may help to address these longstanding issues. Specifically, they can help map fragmented literatures, formalize verbal theories, identify overlap among constructs and measures, generate predictions across tasks, and extract cultural or ecological st
The rapid advancement and widespread accessibility of large language models have created a critical juncture where their application to complex scientific challenges, like those in cognitive science, becomes feasible and highly impactful.
This development suggests a new paradigm for scientific research, where AI models act as fundamental tools for integration, formalization, and hypothesis generation, significantly accelerating discovery and understanding.
The methodology for addressing long-standing, interdisciplinary scientific problems is changing, moving towards AI-assisted synthesis and theory building rather than purely human-driven integration.
