A Cognitively Based Simulation of Simple Organizations
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper explores cognitively realistic social simulations by deploying the CLARION cognitive architecture in a simple organizational simulation, which involves the interaction of multiple cognitive agents. It argues for an integration of the two separate strands of research: cognitive modeling and social simulation. Such an integration could, on the one hand, enhance the accuracy of social simulation models by taking into full account the effects of individual cognitive factors, and on the other hand, it could lead to greater explanatory, predictive, and prescriptive power from these models.

Cognitive Task Complexity and Iranian EFL Learners’ Written Linguistic Performance across Writing Proficiency Levels
Recently tasks, as the basic units of syllabi, and the cognitive complexity, as the criterion for sequencing them, have caught many second language researchers’ attention. This study sought to explore the effect of utilizing the cognitively simple and complex tasks on high- and low-proficient EFL Iranian writers’ linguistic performance, i.e., fluency, accuracy, lexical complexity, and structura...
متن کاملModeling Structure and Cognition in Organizations: A Meta-Network Computational Approach
Introduction In this paper we present a meta-network approach to the analysis of organizations in terms of three basic domain elements: cognitive agents, tasks and resources (Krackhardt and Carley, 1998). Building on mainstream social network and distributed artificial intelligence literature, we propose that formalizing dependencies between domain elements at various levels provides a rich gra...
متن کاملDEVELOPING A NEW INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE FOR DISTILLATION COLUMN SIMULATION
The simulation of distillation columns is an essential step in design, optimization, and rating. In this paper, a new procedure has been proposed for the initial estimation of column profiles based on modified Kremser’s group method for simple and/or complex columns. The effect of this initialization algorithm on simulation procedure has been studied through two examples. The results show sig...
متن کاملCognitively Based Modeling of Scientific Productivity Social Simulation and Cognitive Modeling
This chapter advocates a cognitively realistic approach to social simulation. based on a model for capturing the growth of academic science. Gilbert’s (1997) model, which was equation based, is replaced in this work by an agent-based model, with the cognitive architecture CLARION providing greater cognitive realism. Using this agent model, results comparable to human data are obtained. It is fo...
متن کاملA behavioral dynamics approach to modeling realistic pedestrian behavior
Realistic models of locomotion, accounting for both individual pedestrian behavior and crowd dynamics, are crucial for crowd simulation. Most existing pedestrian models have been based on ad-hoc rules of interaction and parameters, or on theoretical frameworks like physics-inspired approaches that are not cognitively grounded. Based on the cognitively-plausible behavioral dynamics approach, we ...
