A cognitive layer architecture to support large-language model performance in psychotherapy interactions
Abstract Clinician–patient conversations form the cornerstone of mental healthcare. Large language models (LLMs) could hold promise for this domain but their effectiveness in patient-facing interactions remains largely unproven.

Metacognitive Failure as a Feature of Those Holding Radical Beliefs
Highlights • Metacognition refers to the ability to reflect on our cognitive processes • We investigated metacognitive features of radicalism in a low-level perceptual task • Radical participants showed less insight into the accuracy of their decisions • Radicals showed smaller confidence shifts in response to disconfirmatory evidence Summary Widening polarization about political, religious, and scientific issues threatens open societies, leading to entrenchment of beliefs, reduced mutual...
