Encyclopedia > Cognitive model

The term cognitive model can have basically two meanings. In cognitive psychology, a model is a simplified representation of reality. The essential quality of such a model is to help deciding the appropriate actions, i.e. the actions ensuring that a given goal is reached (see mental model). Cognitive psychology is the psychological science that studies cognition, the mental processes that underlie behavior, including thinking, deciding, reasoning, and to some extent motivation and emotion. ... An abstract model (or conceptual model) is a theoretical construct that represents physical, biological or social processes, with a set of variables and a set of logical and quantitative relationships between them. ... Reality in everyday usage means everything that exists. ... A mental model is an explanation in someones thought process for how something works in the real world. ...


In cognitive science, a cognitive model is a model of cognitive processes or even an organism. Briefly put, it is the use of computers to model cognitive behavior and sometimes also the study of nature to improve the usage of computers. These cognitive models are used to study e.g. intelligent or social behaviour, and emergent properties of a connectionist architecture. Rendering of human brain based on MRI data Cognitive science is usually defined as the scientific study either of mind or of intelligence (e. ... Look up Cognition in Wiktionary, the free dictionary The term cognition (Latin, cogito: to think) is used in several different loosely related ways. ... In biology and ecology, an organism (in Greek organon = instrument) is a complex adaptive system of organs that influence each other in such a way that they function as a more or less stable whole and have properties of life. ... Intelligence is usually said to involve mental capabilities such as the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend ideas and language, and learn. ... This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality. ... A termite cathedral mound produced by a termite colony: a classic example of emergence. ... Connectionism is an approach in the fields of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology and philosophy of mind. ...


Cognitive modelling in the latter sense can be understood as reverse engineering some aspect of human cognition by means of artificial intelligence and machine learning in order to better understand this certain aspect. Reverse engineering (RE) is the process of taking something (a device, an electrical component, a software program, etc. ... Hondas intelligent humanoid robot Artificial intelligence (AI) is defined as intelligence exhibited by an artificial entity. ... Machine learning is an area of artificial intelligence concerned with the development of techniques which allow computers to learn. More specifically, machine learning is a method for creating computer programs by the analysis of data sets. ...


In contrast to a cognitive architecture, a model does not necessarily have an explanation to all aspects of cognition (cf. holistic approach), but focuses on particular cognitive processes. Many cognitive models use the framework of nouvelle AI, especially the paradigm of connectionism, to overcome a perceived poor biological plausibility of GOFAI (Good Old Fashioned AI). A cognitive architecture is a (artificial) computational process that acts like a certain cognitive system, most often, like a person, or acts intelligent under some definition. ... Holism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia /**/ @import /skins-1. ... The term cognition is used in several different loosely related ways. ... Since the late 1800s, the word paradigm (IPA: ) has referred to a thought pattern in any scientific discipline or other epistemological context. ... GOFAI stands for Good Old Fashioned Artificial Intelligence. ...
