Whether language models perform such tracking in a human-like fashion remains unclear, in part because existing evaluations rely on artificial tasks, far removed from natural language comprehension, and lack comparisons to humans. Here, we evaluate entity tracking in both language models and humans (N = 48) using naturalistic narratives at multiple levels of complexity. In humans, we find that entity tracking degrades specifically with narrative complexity, not narrative length. In language models, we find that human-level entity tracking is already present at 410 million parameters - we
