Accordingly, detecting and quantifying linguistic encoding of agency are critical for the analysis of human actions, interactions, and social dynamics. Available agency-quantifying computational tools rely on word-counting methods, which typically are insensitive to the semantic context in which the words are used and consequently prone to miscoding, for example, in case of polysemy. Additionally, some currently available tools do not take into account differences in the intensity and directionality of agency. In order to overcome these shortcomings, we present BERTAgent, a novel tool to quantify semantic agency in text. BERTAgent is a computational language model that utilizes the transformers architecture, a popular deep learning approach to natural language processing. BERTAgent was fine-tuned using textual data that were evaluated by human coders with respect to the level of conveyed agency. In four validation studies, BERTAgent exhibits improved convergent and discriminant validity compared to previous solutions. Additionally, the detailed description of BERTAgent's development procedure serves as a tutorial for the advancement of similar tools, providing a blueprint for leveraging the existing lexicographical data sets in conjunction with the deep learning techniques in order to detect and quantify other psychological constructs in textual data.

{"title":"Collaborative recall changes the global organization of memory: A representational similarity analysis of social influences on individual and collective memory organization.","authors":"Jingwen Jin, Hae-Yoon Choi, Garrett D Greeley, Nicholas W Pepe, Elizabeth A Kensinger, Aprajita Mohanty, Suparna Rajaram","doi":"10.1037/xge0001698","DOIUrl":"10.1037/xge0001698","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The last 25 years of research have revealed that recalling the past with others changes memory. A key finding is that former group members show increased memory overlap or collective memory. Beyond memory content, we ask whether collaborative recall changes the organization of memory. How we organize information has far-reaching consequences on learning and remembering, and research has produced sophisticated theories and measures of memory organization when people recall alone. However, research remains sparse on how social influences shape memory organization. Furthermore, studies document local changes only (small segments in recall), raising the question whether collaboration produces global changes (positional relations among all items) in memory organization that can inform how people construct memory narratives. It is also unclear whether collaboration affects memory organization differently for different emotional contents despite the well-established influence of emotion on memory. We address these questions by focusing on two important advances. Using representational similarity analysis, we seek a deeper understanding of collaborative recall on memory organization at the global level and how emotional valence influences memory organization. Comparing two collaborative recall sequences, collaborative-collaborative-individual and individual-collaborative-individual, with individual-individual-individual (baseline sequence), we replicated better memory for emotional than neutral content and collective memory for content. Novel to our aims, collaborative recall changed global memory organization, both at individual and collective levels and for neutral and emotional contents. These quantitative indices for holistic changes in memory organization reveal the depth of social influences in reshaping memory, with implications for remembering, beliefs, education, and national narratives.

{"title":"A computational model for individual differences in nonreinforced learning.","authors":"Tom Salomon, Alon Itzkovitch, Nathaniel D Daw, Tom Schonberg","doi":"10.1037/xge0001739","DOIUrl":"10.1037/xge0001739","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Cue-Approach Training (CAT) is a paradigm that enhances preferences without external reinforcements, suggesting a potential role for internal learning processes. Here, we developed a novel Bayesian computational model to quantify anticipatory response patterns during the training phase of CAT. This phase includes individual items, and thus, this marker potentially reflects internal learning signals at the item level. Our model, fitted to meta-analysis data from 28 prior CAT experiments, was able to predict individual differences in nonreinforced preference changes using a key computational marker. Crucially, two new experiments manipulated the training procedure to influence the model's predicted learning marker. As predicted and preregistered, the manipulation successfully induced differential preference changes, supporting a causal role of our model. These findings demonstrate powerful potential of our computational framework for investigating intrinsic learning processes. This framework could be used to predict preference changes and opens new avenues for understanding intrinsic motivation and decision making.
