Individual differences in artificial neural networks capture individual differences in human behavior

2026-02-11

Abstract excerpt

Human behavior differs substantially across individuals. While artificial neural networks (ANNs) are regarded as promising models of human perception, they are often assumed to lack such individual differences. Here, we demonstrate that multiple instances of the same ANN architecture exhibit substantial individual differences in behavior that mimic those observed in humans. We trained and tested 60 ANN instances f...
