چکیده
Within the field of Human-Computer Interaction, the study of the interaction between people and computers has revealed many phenomena. For example, highly interactive devices, such as the Apple Macintosh, are often easier to learn and use than keyboard-based devices such as Unix. Similarly, consistent interfaces are easier to learn and use than inconsistent ones. This paper describes an integrated cognitive model designed to exhibit a range of these phenomena whilst learning task-action mappings: Action sequences for achieving simple goals such as opening a file in a wordprocessor. The model, called TAL, is of a user who is familiar with the basic operations of a keyboard and mouse, but unfamiliar with the particular menu structures, words, and actions required to use the device. The model is constructed in Soar and employs a single set of architectural mechanisms. It exhibits behaviour that captures human preference for consistent, interactive, and meaningful task-action mappings.

متن کاملLearning Syntax-Semantics Mappings to Bootstrap Word Learning
This paper addresses possible interactive effects between word learning and syntax learning at an early stage of development. We present a computational model that simulates how the results from a syntax learning process and a word learning process can be integrated to build syntax-semantics mappings, and how the emergence of links between syntax and word learning could facilitate subsequent wo...
متن کاملCognitive Discriminative Mappings for Rapid Learning
Humans can learn concepts or recognize items from just a handful of examples, while machines require many more samples to perform the same task. In this paper, we build a computational model to investigate the possibility of this kind of rapid learning. The proposed method aims to improve the learning task of input from sensory memory by leveraging the information retrieved from long-term memor...
متن کاملTransfer Learning via Multiple Inter-task Mappings
In this paper we investigate using multiple mappings for transfer learning in reinforcement learning tasks. We propose two different transfer learning algorithms that are able to manipulate multiple inter-task mappings for both model-learning and model-free reinforcement learning algorithms. Both algorithms incorporate mechanisms to select the appropriate mappings, helping to avoid the phenomen...
متن کاملA new reduced mathematical model to simulate the action potential in end plate of skeletal muscle fibers
Usually mathematicians use Hodgkin-Huxley model or FitzHug-Nagumo model to simulate action potentials of skeletal muscle fibers. These models are electrically excitable, but skeletal muscle fibers are stimulated chemically. To investigate skeletal muscle fibers we use a model with six ordinary differential equations. This dynamical system is sensitive to initial value of some variables so it is...
