This capacity is widely studied in the visual domain using the Raven's Progressive Matrices. Recent advances in deep learning have led to multiple artificial neural network models matching or even surpassing human performance. However, while humans can identify and express the rule underlying these tasks with little to no exposure, contemporary neural networks often rely on massive pattern-based training and cannot express or extrapolate the rule inferred from the task. Furthermore, most Raven's Progressive Matrices or Raven-like tasks used to train neural networks consist only of symbolic challenges, whereas humans can flexibly solve both symbolic and perceptual challenges. In this work, we present an algorithmic approach to rule detection and application using feature detection, affine transformation estimation and search. We applied our model to a simplified Raven's Progressives Matrices task, previously designed for behavioral testing and neuroimaging in humans. The model exhibited one-shot inference and achieved near human-level performance in the symbolic reasoning condition of the simplified task. Furthermore, the model can express the relationships discovered and generate multi-step predictions in accordance with the underlying rule. Finally, the model can handle perceptual challenges containing continuous patterns.

In this study, a series of simulations was conducted where N was varied to determine whether this parameter affected cluster threshold. The primary hypothesis was that modeling N in the simulations would reduce cluster thresholds. A secondary hypothesis was that this cluster size reduction was due to between-subject variability, which was tested by eliminating the corresponding standard error term. Acquisition volume parameters were fixed, while key parameters were varied to reflect reasonable ranges: N (10, 20, or 30), corrected p-value (.05, .01, or .001), individual-voxel p-value (.01, .005, or .001), FWHM (3, 5, or 7 mm), and voxel resolution (2 or 3 mm). Each simulation consisted of 100 iterations repeated 100 times, with a total of 4,860,000 iterations and 66,420,000 simulated subjects. There was a significant effect of condition with clusters approximately 18% smaller with versus without N modeled and a significant increase in cluster thresholds for larger sample sizes. Bayesian analysis provided very strong support for the secondary hypothesis. These simulation results were replicated in a real fMRI data set. The present findings indicate that sample size should be incorporated into all methods to provide the most accurate thresholds possible and reduce type II error. A broader range of topics is discussed including balancing type I and type II error, and the assumption that non-task fMRI activity reflects null data is questioned.</p>","PeriodicalId":10413,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Neuroscience","volume":" ","pages":"30-47"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145994096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
