Hierarchical cognitive maps
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe a computational model of spatial navigation based on experimental studies conducted with human participants. The model builds and uses a hierarchical cognitive map of a large environment. Computer simulations show that the model correctly describes experimental results including hierarchical organization of space and distance estimation. Furthermore, the model predicts that reaction time for distance estimation varies nonlinearly with distance.

Fuzzy Cognitive Maps and Large Scale Complex Systems
Most of the technological systems are characterized by complexity, coupled relationships with feedback and a demanding procedure to develop their models. This paper presents the Soft Computing technique of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps that are knowledge-based methodologies suitable to describe and model complex systems and handle with available information from an abstract point of view. Fuzzy cognitiv...
متن کاملDistortions in Cognitive Maps
Cognitive maps refer to mental representations of maps or environments, as revealed in a variety of tasks. The simplest model of cognitive maps is that they are random degradations of real ones. Research using distance judgments, direction judgments, map recognition, map construction, and other information from memory for maps or environments suggests that distortions, rather than being random,...
متن کاملCreating knowledge maps using Memory Islands
Knowledge maps are useful tools for managing and sharing the largescale hierarchical knowledge that have recently started to be widely applied. In this paper, we discuss how knowledge maps can be generated by using Memory Islands. Memory Islands is our work on progress visualization technique, which was inspired by the ancient "Art of Memory". It consists of automatically creating the spatial c...

Usually, in real-world engineering problems, there are different types of uncertainties about the studied variables, which can be due to the specific variables under investigation or interaction between them. Fuzzy cognitive maps, which addresses the cause-effect relation between variables, is one of the most common models for better understanding of the problems, especially when the quantitati...
متن کاملBig Bang – Big Crunch Learning Method for Fuzzy Cognitive Maps
Modeling of complex dynamic systems, which are very complicated to establish mathematical models, requires new and modern methodologies that will exploit the existing expert knowledge, human experience and historical data. Fuzzy cognitive maps are very suitable, simple, and powerful tools for simulation and analysis of these kinds of dynamic systems. However, human experts are subjective and ca...
