On the basis of this assumption we designed an alternative operatorstyle instruction that produces better learning in models. In an experiment and model of interacting with a simulated Flight Management System, a system that is notoriously hard to learn on the basis of list-style instructions, we show that alternative instructions produce significantly better and more robust learning. }, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2cb8d6afb8976f785cedce6472e9db138/wnpxrz}, keywords = {modeling cognitive model cognition} } @unpublished{Emond_2002_Cognitive-Modelling, title = {Cognitive Modeling and its Application for the Development of Socially Adept Technologies}, author = {B. Emond and R.L. West}, year = 2002, abstract = {In this paper we would like to propose that the methodology of cognitive modeling can provide an approach to the implementation of socially adept technologies and the evaluation of its usability. We base this approach on the assumption that representations play an essential role in mediating social relations. Cognitive representations and their causal link to the social and physical environments have been recognized as an essential element for understanding social relations. The challenge is to port cognitive modeling methodology into the realm of socially adept technologies. The first section briefly presents the state of development of a modeling environment aimed at supporting usability testing of sociotechnical systems. The second section will give an overview of an application intended to support social and personal awareness in a web-based learning environment. This application maps users identity, users behavior, and shared information content into a model of human memory. }, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2557704e0ea2c7c1ad42c1971d906da7d/wnpxrz}, keywords = {modeling cognition model cognitive} } @inproceedings{nobile05cogito, title = {Cogito ergo Ago: foundations for a computational model of behaviour change}, author = {Cosimo Nobile and Floriana Grasso}, booktitle = {"Agents that Want and Like: Motivational and Emotional Roots of Cognition and Action", Symposium of the 2005 Convention of the Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour (AISB'05)}, editor = {L.

We argue that taking into account cognitive aspects, supported by solid psychological and philosophical theories, might help us to provide the right advice, to the right person, at the right time.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2088d93507aa1bcc5cdb662778aa97576/wnpxrz}, keywords = {cognition behavior modeling agent} } @article{chulef2001, title = {A Hierarchical Taxonomy of Human Goals}, author = {Ada S.

Women and men in 3 age groups—17–30, 25–62, and 65 and older—sorted the goals into conceptually similar groups. These were cluster analyzed and a taxonomy of 30 goal clusters was developed for each age group separately and for the total sample. The clusters were conceptually meaningful and consistent across the 3 samples. The broadest distinction in each sample was between interpersonal or social goals and intrapersonal or individual goals, with interpersonal goals divided into family-related and more general social goals. Further, the 30 clusters were organized into meaningful higher order clusters. The role of such a taxonomy in promoting theory development and research is discussed, as is its relationship to other organizations of human goals and to the Big Five structure of personality.

This Special Issue outlines progress in this rapidly developing field, which provides a potentially unifying perspective across a wide range of domains and levels of explanation. Here, we introduce the historical and conceptual foundations of the approach, explore how the approach relates to studies of explicit probabilistic reasoning, and give a brief overview of the field as it stands today.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/29a65e96bef91753b705fec462e9e60d1/wnpxrz}, keywords = {probability probabilistic cognition} }
