Cognitively Based Modeling of Scientific Productivity Social Simulation and Cognitive Modeling

چکیده
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 found that while different cognitive settings may affect aggregate productivity of scientific articles, generally they do not lead to different distributions of productivity. It is argued that using more cognitively realistic models in social simulations may lead to novel insights.

A Cognitively Based Simulation of Simple Organizations
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 s...
متن کاملSimulating Organizational Decision-Making Using a Cognitively Realistic Agent Model
Most of the work in agent-based social simulation has assumed highly simplified agent models, with little attention being paid to the details of individual cognition. Here, in an effort to counteract that trend, we substitute a realistic cognitive agent model (CLARION) for the simpler models previously used in an organizational design task. On that basis, an exploration is made of the interacti...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Kuhni Extraction Column Using a Rate-based Model
In this study, liquid-liquid extraction process in a Kuhni extraction column was modeled and simulated. A non-equilibrium dynamic model was developed for modeling liquid-liquid extraction processes based on a rate-based model. The model equations are inclusive of partial and ordinary differential equations which were discretized in column height direction. The population balance model was used ...
متن کامل"Like-Me" Simulation as an Effective and Cognitively Plausible Basis for Social Robotics
We present a successful design approach for social robotics based on a computational cognitive architecture and mental simulation. We discuss an approach to a Theory of Mind known as a “like-me” simulation in which the agent uses its own knowledge and capabilities as a model of another agent to predict that agent’s actions. We present three examples of a “like-me” mental simulation in a social ...
متن کاملA cognitively based simulation of academic science
The models used in social simulation to date have mostly been very simplistic cognitively, with little attention paid to the details of individual cognition. This work proposes a more cognitively realistic approach to social simulation. It begins with a model created by Gilbert (1997) for capturing the growth of academic science. Gilbert’s model, which was equation-based, is replaced here by an...
