Soft constraints hypothesis (SCH) is a rational analysis approach that holds that the mixture
of perceptual-motor and cognitive resources allocated for interactive behavior is adjusted …

Eye movements during natural tasks suggest that observers do not use working memory to
capacity but instead use eye movements to acquire relevant information immediately before …

A Handbook of Process Tracing Methods demonstrates how to better understand decision
outcomes by studying decision processes, through the introduction of a number of exciting …

Theories of embodied cognition postulate that the world can serve as an external memory.
This implies that instead of storing visual information in working memory the information may …

Reinforcement learning approaches to cognitive modeling represent task acquisition as
learning to choose the sequence of steps that accomplishes the task while maximizing a …

Evaluating variations in the structure of computational models of cognition is as important as
evaluating variations in the numerical parameters of such models. However, computational …

How is practical knowledge acquired? How can a person—or some other intelligent agent, if
any—bootstrap himself or herself from inability to mastery? The purpose of this chapter is to …

To broaden the use and understanding of ACT-R within the cognitive science community,
we have attempted to express the system in terms of a large number of simple, interacting …

The long tail has attracted substantial theoretical as well as practical interest, yet there have
been few empirical studies that have explicitly examined the factors that drive online …

This dissertation details the development of an advanced real-time cognitive model that
plays a version of Space Fortress, an arcade-style video game. A new, streamlined version …
