Representation Without Control: Testing the Realization Effect in Language Models arXiv:2605.25151v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models are increasingly used as behavioral simulators, but it remains unclear when their outputs reflect human-like cognitive mechanisms rather than prompt-sensitive surface patterns. We study this question through the realization effect, a well-characterized finding in behavioral economics in which risk-taking differs systematically after paper versus
