Categorical Data Displays Generated from Three Architectures Illustrate Their Behavior

چکیده
The following introduces CaDaDis, an extension to the architecture-independent VISTA toolkit. CaDaDis creates visible accounts of cognitive model behavior through a set of Categorical Data Displays. It includes a standard Pert Chart showing tasks by category (or resource), a Nonstandard Pert Chart that shows the temporal dependencies, and a Gantt chart that helps show occurrences of agent events along a time line. Perhaps most usefully, it can display categorical and numeric data generated by models as they run. Structured messages are sent on behalf of the cognitive model by several example script-based interfaces. This paper presents a series of examples of CaDaDis with three different cognitive architectures. The displays, for example, show that the sample models included in the Soar distribution have different structures.

متن کاملCaDaDis: A Tool for Displaying the Behavior of Cognitive Models and Agents
We introduce an extension to an architecture-independent tool (VISTA) for creating displays of cognitive model behavior, the Categorical Data Display (CaDaDis). Our display offers several views of categorical data. It includes a standard Pert Chart showing tasks by category (or resource), a Nonstandard Pert Chart that shows the temporal dependencies, and a Gantt chart that helps show occurrence...
متن کاملSpeaking Stata: Graphing categorical and compositional data
Abstract. A variety of graphs have been devised for categorical and compositional data, ranging from widely familiar to more unusual displays. Both official Stata commands and user-written programs are available. After a stacking trick for binary responses is explained, bar charts and related displays for cross-tabulations are discussed in detail. Tips and tricks are introduced for plotting cum...
متن کاملExperimental personality designs: analyzing categorical by continuous variable interactions.
Theories hypothesizing interactions between a categorical and one or more continuous variables are common in personality research. Traditionally, such hypotheses have been tested using nonoptimal adaptations of analysis of variance (ANOVA). This article describes an alternative multiple regression-based approach that has greater power and protects against spurious conclusions concerning the imp...
متن کاملNew approaches to studying problem behaviors: a comparison of methods for modeling longitudinal, categorical adolescent drinking data.
Analyzing problem-behavior trajectories can be difficult. The data are generally categorical and often quite skewed, violating distributional assumptions of standard normal-theory statistical models. In this article, the authors present several currently available modeling options, all of which make appropriate distributional assumptions for the observed categorical data. Three are based on the...
