About this paper

Marcel Binz, Eric Schulz

CORE jointly models behavior across psychological experiments using layered, context-sensitive memory that stores prediction errors, retrieves experiences, and forgets them. It represents experiment histories in natural language and predicts choices. Across 137 experiments, CORE had lower held-out loss than a matched Transformer in all 62 studies and lower overall loss than Centaur in 47 of 62 studies; it remains an initial framework, not a complete theory.
