Speaker:
Dr. Tsung-Jen Huang, Associate Professor
(Department of Psychology, National Taiwan University)
Title:
Cognitive, Emotional, and Metacognitive Tendencies of LLMs: Implications for Human–AI Interaction
Time:
Thursday, October 9, 2025, 14:10 – 16:00
Venue:
Room 101, Department of Psychology, Guofu Building, National Chengchi University
All faculty members and students are cordially invited to attend!
Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly becoming everyday collaborators in thinking, writing, and decision-making. Yet beyond their technical capabilities, they exhibit response tendencies that shape how humans interact with them. By examining the cognitive, emotional, and metacognitive tendencies of LLMs, we can better understand both the promise and pitfalls of human–AI interaction. This talk will outline implications for trust, design, and governance in a world where AI agents increasingly shape how we think, feel, and decide.
Dr. Huang received his B.S. in Mathematics from National Taiwan University, M.S. in Physics from National Taiwan University, and Ph.D. in Cognitive and Neural Systems from Boston University. From 2024 to 2025, he was a visiting scholar at Stanford University. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at National Taiwan University.
His research interests include psychological and neural information sciences, computational modeling of neural and cognitive systems, learning and memory, and social cognition/interaction between humans and machines (AI/robotics). Dr. Huang also leads the Modeling and Informatics Laboratory (M.I. Lab), engaging in interdisciplinary research that integrates information science techniques with psychological knowledge. By utilizing online behavioral data, data mining, big data analysis, and computational modeling, his lab explores social cognitive processes underlying self–other interactions.
