OPTIMIST: A New Conflict Resolution Algorithm for ACT-R
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several studies have suggested recently that a more dynamic conflict resolution mechanism in the ACT–R cognitive architecture (Anderson & Lebiere, 1998) could improve the decision–making behaviour of cognitive models. This part of ACT–R theory is revisited and a new solution is proposed. The new algorithm (OPTIMIST) has been implemented as an overlay to the ACT–R architecture, and can be used as an alternative mechanism. The operation of the new algorithm is tested in a model of the classical Yerkes and Dodson experiment on animals’ learning. When OPTIMIST is used, the resulting model fits the data better than the previous model (e.g. R increases from .85 to .93 in one example).

متن کاملOPTIMIST Conflict Resolution Overlay for the ACT–R Cogntivie Architecture∗
This is a documentation on the OPTIMIST overlay for the ACT–R cognitive architecture (Anderson & Lebiere, 1998). The overlay implements an alternative conflict resolution algorithm. The main difference of the new algorithm from the ‘standard’ is the use of Gamma distributed noise, which has rule–specific and dynamic variance as opposed to normal distributed noise with global and constant variance.
متن کاملConflict Resolution by Random Estimated Costs
Conflict resolution is an important part of many intelligent systems such as production systems, planning tools and cognitive architectures. For example, the ACT–R cognitive architectire [Anderson and Lebiere, 1998] uses a powerful conflict resolution theory that allowed for modelling many characteristics of human decision making. The results of more recent works, however, pointed to the need o...
متن کاملComparison of the effectiveness of the schema mode therapy and Emotional-focused therapy on styles of conflict resolution, in new married couples with conflict
The aim of this research was to study of comparison of Schema Mode therapy and Emotional-focused therapy (HmT) on styles of conflict resolution in new married couples with conflict. In regard to the purpose, this research was applicable and in regard to procedure, it was a quasi-experimental study with a multi-group pre-test-post-test design with control and follow-up group. The statistical pop...
متن کاملExchanging Conflict Resolution in an Adaptable Implementation of ACT-R
In computational cognitive science, the cognitive architecture ACT-R is very popular. It describes a model of cognition that is amenable to computer implementation, paving the way for computational psychology. Its underlying psychological theory has been investigated in many psychological experiments, but ACT-R lacks a formal definition of its underlying concepts from a mathematical-computation...
