ACT-R is almost a Model of Primate Task Learning: Experiments in Modelling Transitive Inference
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a model of transitive inference (TI) using ACT-R which strengthens the hypothesis that TI is not dependent on underlying sequential ordering of stimuli, but rather on the learning of productions. We nevertheless find a weakness in the ACT-R sub-symbolic learning system and suggest improvements.

Primate Errors in Transitive Inference
This paper provides a new model of primate transitive inference learning. We begin from the production-rule model of Harris and McGonigle (1994), which was previously the best model at accounting for the performance of squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) and human children trained on transitive inference (e.g. given A > B and B > C, then A > C) when presented with three items from the training ...
متن کاملEvidence of Modularity from Primate Errors during Task Learning
The last two decades have seen a great deal of theorising and speculation about the modular nature of human intelligence, as well as a rise in use of modular architectures in artificial intelligence. Nevertheless, whether such models of natural intelligence are well supported is still an issue of debate. In this paper, I propose that the most important criteria for modularity is specialised rep...
متن کاملRepresentations Underlying Transitive Choice in Humans and Other Primates
There is strong evidence in the literature for at least three different representations underlying transitive choice in various species of animals. This paper focuses primarily on understanding one of the most neglected: the production-rule model of Harris and McGonigle (1994). The production-rule model has been to date the best model at accounting for the performance of squirrel monkeys (Saimi...
متن کاملThe Effect of Transitive Closure on the Calibration of Logistic Regression for Entity Resolution
This paper describes a series of experiments in using logistic regression machine learning as a method for entity resolution. From these experiments the authors concluded that when a supervised ML algorithm is trained to classify a pair of entity references as linked or not linked pair, the evaluation of the model’s performance should take into account the transitive closure of its pairwise lin...
متن کاملOn the relation between representations constructed from text comprehension and transitive inference production.
Deductive inference production from texts is a process considered to involve either the construction of an integrated mental model or the step-by-step coordination of propositional representations of the sentences. These alternative hypotheses were tested in 3 experiments using a set inclusion task paradigm in which participants had to recall the premises and to evaluate transitive inferences. ...
