Accountable Modeling in ACT-UP, a Scalable, Rapid-Prototyping ACT-R Implementation
نویسنده
چکیده
ACT-UP is a toolbox implementation of the ACT-R cognitive architecture, aimed at allowing rapid prototyping of complex models. With ACT-UP, we propose Accountable Modeling, where the only model components that are specified are those supported by empirical evidence and part of the model’s theoretical claims. ACT-UP is a library providing a programmatic interface to the classical ACT-R functionality. Implemented in a functional programming paradigm, models are reusable in other contexts. The toolbox is demonstrated using five implemented and evaluated cognitive models.

Can Cognitive Modeling Improve Rapid Prototyping?
Rapid prototyping is an area in which cognitive modeling is not frequently used. We examine some of the reasons behind this and argue that cognitive modeling could play an important role. Specifically we argue that usability testing could be improved by testing simulated users. We review the benefits that this methodology could offer and discuss one approach to building a simulated user using A...
متن کاملModeling Tools for Predicting Driver Distraction
In contrast to the vast amount of modeling work focused on desktop user interfaces, recent work has increasingly focused on “off-the-desktop” interfaces, one prime example being in-vehicle interfaces used while driving. This paper highlights four recent approaches to predicting driver distraction from in-vehicle interfaces as secondary tasks: hand-crafted modeling with the full-fledged ACT-R ar...

McDonough’s perspective on healthcare reform in the US provides a clear, coherent analysis of the mix of access and delivery reforms in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) aka Obamacare. As noted by McDonough, this major reform bill is designed to expand access for health coverage that includes both prevention and treatment benefits among uninsured Americans. Additionally, this legislation includes s...
متن کاملNeuro-ACT Cognitive Architecture Applications in Modeling Driver’s Steering Behavior in Turns
Cognitive Architectures (CAs) are the core of artificial cognitive systems. A CA is supposed to specify the human brain at a level of abstraction suitable for explaining how it achieves the functions of the mind. Over the years a number of distinct CAs have been proposed by different authors and their limitations and potentials were investigated. These CAs are usually classified as symbolic and...
متن کاملExtending Cognitive Architectures with Semantic Resources
This paper presents an integrated modeling framework where the learning and knowledge retrieval mechanisms of the ACT-R cognitive architecture are combined with a semantic resource. We aim to extend ACT-R with a scalable knowledge model, in order to support sub-symbolic processes with consistent, general high-level declarative representations. Design principles, methodology and implementation e...
