چکیده

This paper explores applying qualitative reasoning to a driver’s mental state in real driving situations so as to develop a working load for intelligent transportation systems. The authors identify the cognitive state that determines whether a driver will be ready to operate a device in car navigation. In order to identify the driver’s cognitive state, the authors will measure eye movements during car-driving situations. Data can be acquired for the various actions of a car driver, in particular braking, acceleration, and steering angles from the experiment car. The authors constructed a driver cognitive mental load using the framework of qualitative reasoning. The response of the model was checked by qualitative simulation. The authors also verified the model using real data collected by driving an actual car. The results indicated that the model could represent the change in the cognitive mental load based on measurable data. This means that the framework of this paper will be useful for designing user interfaces for next-generation systems that actively employ user situations.

QCM: A QP-Based Concept Map System

Qualitative representations have proven to be useful formalisms for capturing human mental models. As a result, qualitative modeling could become an important tool for cognitive science. Specifically, an environment in which qualitative representations can be used to explore mental models and different type of reasoning and simulations can be performed on these models can be a useful tool for c...

Cognitive Plausibility of a Conceptual Framework (for Modeling Qualitative Prediction of Behaviour)

In this paper we investigate the cognitive plau-sibility of an integrated framework for qualitative prediction of behaviour. The framework is based on the KADS expertise modeling approach and integrates diierent approaches to qualitative reasoning. The framework is implemented in a program called GARP. To test the cognitive plau-sibility a physics problem involving qualitative prediction of beh...

Computational Conceptual Change: An Explanation-Based Approach Scott Friedman The process of conceptual change – whereby new knowledge is adopted in the presence of prior, conflicting knowledge – is pervasive in human cognitive development, and contributes to our cognitive flexibility. At present, Artificial Intelligence systems lack the flexibility of human conceptual change. This is due in pa...

Mental models of physical causality

The aim of this paper is to present a cognitive model of causal reasoning about the psysical world and a related computational system. The cognitive model is based on the theory of mental models and on two main assumptions, the assumption of reasoning by examples and the assumption of causality by contact. The computational model has been developed using an Extended version of the Qualitative P...
