AI Support for Building Cognitive Models

چکیده
Cognitive modeling techniques provide a way of evaluating user interface designs, based on what is known about human cognitive strengths and limitations. Cognitive modelers face a tradeoff, however: more detailed models require disproportionately more time and effort to develop than coarser models. In this paper we describe a system, G2A, that automatically produces translations from abstract GOMS models into more detailed ACT-R models. G2A demonstrates how even simple AI techniques can facilitate the construction of cognitive models and suggests new directions for improving modeling tools.

Cognitive Technologies: The Design of Joint Human-Machine Cognitive Systems
Developments in computational technology have focused on tool building-how to build better performing machines. But tool use involves more. The key to the effective application of computational technology is to conceive, model, design, and evaluate the joint human-machine cognitive system. Like Gestalt principles in perception, a decision system is not merely the sum of its parts, human and mac...
متن کاملO11: Cognitive Appraisals and Social Support in Predicting Children’s Posttraumatic Stress
Cognitive appraisals of the trauma play a key role in children’s adjustment following a traumatic event, but how these appraisals develop is not well understood. Cognitive models of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) suggest that social support is a key influence on the development of appraisals, and we aimed to explore this relationship further. As predicted by cognitive models of PTSD...
متن کاملPiaget and Artificial Intelligence
Piaget’s Genetic Epistemology and Artl$cial Intelligence can be of great use to each other, since the strengths of each approach complement the weaknesses of the other. Two ways of bringing the two approaches together are suggested: elaborating the parallels between them (such as the concept of schemata), and building AI models based directly on Piaget’s theory. How this mighl benejit AI is ill...
متن کاملEscaping the Building Block / Rule Dichotomy : A Case Study
The traditional approach to complex problems in science and engineering is to break down each problem into a set of primitive building blocks, which are then combined by rules to form structures. In turn, these structures can be taken apart systematically to recover the original building blocks that went into them. Connectionist models of such complex problems (especially in the realm of cognit...
متن کاملExplainable AI: Beware of Inmates Running the Asylum Or: How I Learnt to Stop Worrying and Love the Social and Behavioural Sciences
In his seminal book The Inmates are Running the Asylum: Why High-Tech Products Drive Us Crazy And How To Restore The Sanity [2004, Sams Indianapolis, IN, USA], Alan Cooper argues that a major reason why software is often poorly designed (from a user perspective) is that programmers are in charge of design decisions, rather than interaction designers. As a result, programmers design software for...
