cognitive architectures (cas) are the core of artificial cognitive systems. a ca is supposed to specify the human brain at a level of abstraction suitable for explaining how it achieves the functions of the mind. over the years a number of distinct cas have been proposed by different authors and their limitations and potentials were investigated. these cas are usually classified as symbolic and...

a b s t r a c tintroduction: although decision-making processes have become a principal target of study among addiction researchers, few researches are published according to effects of different treatment methods on the cognitive processes underlying decision making up to now. utilizing cognitive modeling method, in this paper we examine the effects of methadone maintenance treatment (mmt) on ...

facing the issues with structural complexity about which stakeholders have different views, has increasingly led to the use of soft systems methodology (ssm) in solving managerial problems. moreover, the flaws of this methodology in the stages of modeling and feasible, desirable changes, have provided the motivation for applying cognitive map (cm) and system dynamics in the ssm modeling. presen...

A recent innovation in student knowledge modeling is the replacement of static estimates of the probability that a student has guessed or slipped with more contextual estimation of these probabilities [2], significantly improving prediction of future performance in one case. We extend this method by adjusting the training set used to develop the contextual models of guessing and slipping, remov...

The work overviews the theoretical models of emotions mainly used by computer scientists in the area of user modeling and sentiment analysis. Central in this regard are the dimensional models in which the body side is crucial, and the cognitive ones in which the evaluation processes give rise to emotions. Special attention is devoted to a socio-cognitive model of emotions in terms of goals and ...
