Modeling developmental transitions on the balance scale task
Periods of relatively stable, rule-like behavior alternated with short transition periods characterize cognitive development on reasoning tasks like the balance scale task. Each transition gives rise to an improvement in behavior, until a phase is reached in which performance is flawless or improvement is not worthwhile given the necessary extra effort. Several computational models have been de...
متن کاملModeling Developmental Transitions 1 Running head: MODELING DEVELOPMENTAL TRANSITIONS Modeling Developmental Transitions on the Balance Scale Task
Cognitive development on certain tasks (e.g., the balance scale task) is characterized by periods of relative stable, rule-like but suboptimal behavior that occur in a fixed order and alternate with short transition periods. Many models have been developed to capture the developmental phenomena associated with the balance scale task. However, most of these models do not account for important ph...
متن کاملModeling Cognitive Development on the Balance Scale Task
In this paper we describe a production system model of children's development on the balance scale task. Starting with a set of rules that makes random predictions, the system iearns from its errors and improves as it gains experience. The transition mechanism is a discrimination process that searches for differences between cases in which correct predictions are made and cases in which errors ...
متن کاملCognitive Dynamics on the Balance-Scale Task
Our ability to detect patterns and observe regularities is a fundamental part of reasoning and learning. Various theoretical accounts conceptualize induction in different ways. In the current study, we used the balance-scale task and mouse-tracking techniques as a means to explore the cognitive dynamics that underlie inductive pattern recognition. Although we did not replicate an expected inter...
متن کاملLearning on the Balance Scale Task
Introduction The balance scale task has become a benchmark task in cognitive developmental psychology. Development on the balance scale task is characterized as a progression through a series of increasingly complex rules (Rule I, II, III, IV). Children using Rule IV understand the multiplicative relation between the two task features, weight and distance information of blocks placed at both si...
