چکیده

The focus of this paper is the development of a computational model for intelligent agents that decides on whether to acquire required information by retrieving it from memory or by interacting with the world. First, we present a task for which such decisions have to be made. Next, we discuss an experiment that shows that humans do not apply rational expected utility analysis to make this decision, but instead adopt a simpler heuristic strategy. Then, we introduce a computational model that incorporates the rational as well as various heuristic task strategies. The human data is compared to the behavior of the model under several parameter settings. We were able to match the human actions with model actions for various task strategies, suggesting that humans differ in the task strategies they apply, and that our manner to deduce heuristic task strategies is feasible.

Modeling syntactic acquisition

Just like other scientific tools of investigation, modeling is something we use to answer certain kinds of questions. For syntactic acquisition, these questions tend to concern the process of acquisition that yields adult syntactic knowledge – that is, how exactly syntactic acquisition proceeds, using particular learning strategies (Pearl and Sprouse, 2015). In essence, an informative model of ...

Comparing Bandwidth and Self-control Modeling on Learning a Sequential Timing Task

Modeling is a process which the observer sees another person's behavior and adapts his/her behavior with that which is the result of interaction. The aim of present study was to investigate and compare effectiveness of bandwidth modeling and self-control modeling on performance and learning of a sequential timing task. So two groups of bandwidth and self-control were compared. The task was pres...
