Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Many of the problems of children's cognitive development have been difficult and longstanding. Among these are issues of how children represent knowledge, whether stages exist, and how children achieve transitions between stages. Despite a century of scientific evidence on child development, comprehensive theoretical understanding of these issues has remained elusive. Part of the reason is that the problems of psychological development are too complex for traditional verbal theories of development. Nonetheless, it has become clear in recent years that considerable leverage on these problems can be gained by applying computational modeling, particularly using artificial neural networks. This is because computational modeling is a good way to capture complex processes, neural networks capture developmental phenomena in a natural way, and successful models can be examined in detail to discover insights into the phenomena that they simulate (Shultz, 2001).

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
