AI-Corpus Instrumentation of Established Psychological Constructs
Applies Need for Cognition (Cacioppo & Petty, 1982) and far transfer (Thorndike; Gick & Holyoak) to AI chat corpora as a continuous, naturalistic observation instrument, rather than proposing new psychological constructs.
Where This Idea Comes From
The methodological claim underneath "Intellectual Agency": the framework doesn't invent new psychological traits, it repurposes decades-old, established constructs — Need for Cognition, far transfer — and uses the AI chat corpus as a continuous, naturalistic instrument for observing them instead of a one-time lab test.
