Intentions (6) Do all the important errands

There are individual differences in reasoning which go beyond dimensions of ability. Valid models of cognition must take these differences into account, otherwise they characterise group mean phenomena which explain nobody. The gap is closing between formal cognitive models, which are designed from the ground up to explain cognitive phenomena, and statistical models, which traditionally concern...

Empirical findings indicate that humans draw inferences about spatial arrangements by constructing and manipulating mental models which are internal representations of objects and relations in spatial working memory. Central to the Mental Model Theory (MMT), is the assumption that the human reasoning process can be divided into three phases: (i) Mental model construction, (ii) model inspection,...

Comparison of the ability of different computational cognitive models to simulate empirical data should ideally take into account the complexity of the compared models. Although several comparison methods are available that are meant to achieve this, little information on the differential strengths and weaknesses of these methods is available. In this contribution we present the results of a sy...

What are the characteristics of long-term learning? We investigated the characteristics of long-term, symbolic learning using the Soar and ACT-R cognitive architectures running cognitive models of two simple tasks. Long sequences of problems were run collecting data to answer fundamental questions about long-term, symbolic learning. We examined whether symbolic learning continues indefinitely, ...

Recently, Fuzzy Grey Cognitive Maps (FGCM) has been proposed as a Grey System theory-based FCM extension. Grey systems have become a very effective theory for solving problems within environments with high uncertainty, under discrete small and incomplete data sets. The benefits of FGCMs over conventional FCMs make evident the significance of developing a greyness-based cognitive model such as F...

the present study has a cognitive approach to empathy and character engagement in cinema. in discussing how through empathy and engagement with real and fictional characters, we extend our minds and enhance our cognitive abilities, the present paper studies bahram tavakkoli’s wandering in the fog (2010), to show how andy clark and david chalmers’s idea of the extended mind as joined with murray...
