+# CoreCognition: A Core Knowledge Benchmark for Multi-modal Large Language Models
+
+## Dataset Description
+
+**CoreCognition** is a large-scale benchmark encompassing **12 core knowledge concepts** grounded in developmental cognitive science, designed to evaluate the fundamental cognitive abilities of Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs).
+
+While MLLMs demonstrate impressive abilities over high-level perception and reasoning, their robustness in the wild remains limited, often falling short on tasks that are intuitive and effortless for humans. We examine the hypothesis that these deficiencies stem from the absence of **core knowledge**—rudimentary cognitive abilities innate to humans from early childhood.
+
+This dataset contains **1,423** multimodal cognitive assessment samples with images and questions, covering fundamental concepts like object permanence, spatial reasoning, counting, and other core cognitive abilities that emerge in human development.
+
+(Additional **80 Concept Hacking** questions in our paper will be released separately)

+## Repository Formats
+
+This repository provides **2 formats**:
+
+1. **HuggingFace Preview** - For browsing and exploration (visible in HuggingFace viewer, contains embedded 448*448-pixel image preview but not videos) 
+2. **Complete Dataset ZIP (Recommended)** - Full data with all images and videos before resizing, 6.41GB

+## Dataset Fields
+
+### Metadata Fields (visible in viewer)
+- `id`: Unique sample identifier
+- `concept`: Core knowledge concept detailed below
+- `type`: Question type ("MC" for multiple choice, "TF" for True/False)
+- `question`: The question text with interleaved <image-placeholder: ...> and/or <video-placeholder: ...>
+- `images`: Semicolon-separated image filenames, can be found in [ZIP data](https://huggingface.co/datasets/williamium/CoreCognition/blob/main/CoreCognition_20250622.zip)
+- `videos`: Semicolon-separated video filenames, can be found in [ZIP data](https://huggingface.co/datasets/williamium/CoreCognition/blob/main/CoreCognition_20250622.zip)
+- `answer`: Correct answer choice
+- `choices`: Choice options as JSON string 
+- `image_paths`: Embedded image column for HuggingFace viewer only
+
+
+
+## Core Knowledge Concepts (12 Categories)
+
+The benchmark covers these fundamental cognitive concepts grounded in developmental science:
+
+- **Boundary**: The transition from one object to another
+- **Continuity**: Objects persist as unified, cohesive entities across space and time
+- **Permanence**: Objects do not cease to exist when they are no longer perceived
+- **Spatiality**: The *a priori* understanding of the Euclidean properties of the world
+- **Perceptual Constancy**: Changes in appearances don't mean changes in physical properties
+- **Intuitive Physics**: Intuitions about the laws of how things interact in the physical world
+- **Perspective**: To see what others see
+- **Hierarchy**: Understanding of inclusion and exclusion of objects and categories
+- **Conservation**: Invariances of properties despite transformations
+- **Tool Use**: The capacity to manipulate specific objects to achieve goals
+- **Intentionality**: To see what others want
+- **Mechanical Reasoning**: Inferring actions from system states and vice versa
