Automated Computational Cognitive-Modeling

Automated Cognitive Modeling

In this paper WC dcscribc an approach to automating the construction of cognitive process models. WC make two psychological assumptions: that cognition can bc modclcd as a production system, and that cognitive behavior involves starch through some problem space. Within this framework, WC employ a problem reduclion approach to constructing cognitive mod&, in which one begins with a set of indcpc...

Introduction to Computational Cognitive Modeling

Instead going straight into dealing with specific approaches, issues, and domains of computational cognitive modeling, it would be more appropriate to first take some time to explore a few general questions that lie at the very core of cognitive science and computational cognitive modeling. What is computational cognitive modeling? What exactly can it contribute to cognitive science? What has i...

Declarative/Logic-Based Computational Cognitive Modeling∗

This chapter is an esemplastic systematization of declarative computational cognitive modeling, a field that cuts across cognitive modeling based on cognitive architectures (such as ACT-R, Soar, and Clarion), human-level artificial intelligence (AI), logic itself, and psychology of reasoning (especially of the computational kind). The hallmarks of declarative computational cognitive modeling ar...

Indispensability of Computational Modeling in Cognitive Science*

The concept of computation remains a frequently discussed topic in cognitive science, but there is no consensus about its meaning and the role in this field. I discuss this concept in wider sense, also including nonclassical computation, in the light of Marr’s three levels of analysis and their relevance for main modeling frameworks pursued in cognitive science – symbolic, connectionist, dynami...
