Applying Multi-Criteria Optimisation to Develop Cognitive Models
Lane, P.C.R.; Gobet, F. (Birkbeck, 2005)A scientific theory is developed by modelling empirical data in a range of domains. The goal of developing a theory is to optimise the t of the theory to as many experimental settings as possible, whilst retaining some ... -
Attention Mechanisms in the CHREST Cognitive Architecture
Lane, P.C.R.; Gobet, F.; Smith, R.L. (2009)In this paper, we describe the attention mechanisms in CHREST, a computational architecture of human visual expertise. CHREST organises information acquired by direct experience from the world in the form of chunks. These ... -
Building models of learning and expertise with CHREST
Lane, P.C.R.; Gobet, F. (Cognitive Science Society, 2010)CHREST (Chunk Hierarchy and REtrieval STructures) is a complete computational architecture implementing processes of learning and perception. CHREST models have successfully simulated human data in a variety of domains, ... -
Checking chess checks with chunks: A model of simple check detection
Smith, R.L.; Gobet, F.; Lane, P.C.R. (Cognitive Science Society, 2009)The procedure by which humans identify checks in check positions is not well understood. We report here our experience in modelling this process with CHREST, a general-purpose cognitive model that has previously successfully ... -
The CHREST architecture of cognition : the role of perception in general intelligence
Gobet, F.; Lane, P.C.R. (Atlantis Press, 2010)This paper argues that the CHREST architecture of cognition can shed important light on developing artificial general intelligence. The key theme is that "cognition is perception." The description of the main components ... -
Chunking mechanisms in human learning
Gobet, F.; Lane, P.C.R.; Croker, S.; Cheng, P. C-H.; Jones, G.; Oliver, I.; Pine, J.M. (2001) -
Combining low-level perception with expectations in CHREST
Lane, P.C.R.; Sykes, A.K.; Gobet, F. (2003)The ability of humans to reliably perceive and recognise objects relies on an interaction between information seen in the visual image and prior expectations. We describe an extension to the CHREST computational model which ... -
Developing and Evaluating Cognitive Architectures with Behavioural Tests
Lane, P.C.R.; Gobet, F. (2007)We present a methodology for developing and evaluating cognitive architectures based on behavioural tests and suitable optimisation algorithms. Behavioural tests are used to clarify those aspects of an architecture's ... -
Developing reproducible and comprehensible computational models
Lane, P.C.R.; Gobet, F. (2003) -
Discovering predictive variables when evolving cognitive models
Lane, P.C.R.; Gobet, F. (2005)A non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm is used to evolve models of learning from di erent theories for multiple tasks. Correlation analysis is performed to identify parameters which affect performance on specific tasks; ... -
A Distributed Framework for Semi-Automatically Developing Architectures of Brain and Mind
Gobet, F.; Lane, P.C.R. (2005) -
Investigating the Diversity of Evolved Cognitive Models in Delayed Match to Sample Experiments
Lane, Peter; Bartlett, Laura; Gobet, F. (2024-06-12)The construction of programs to model cognitive behaviour can be semi-automated, using program synthesis techniques such as genetic programming. However, these techniques can produce many candidate solutions of good fitness ... -
An investigation into the effect of ageing on expert memory with CHREST
Smith, R.L.; Gobet, F.; Lane, P.C.R. (2007)CHREST is a cognitive architecture that models human perception, learning, memory, and problem solving, and which has successfully simulated numerous human experimental data on chess. In this paper, we describe an investigation ... -
A Methodology for Developing Computational Implementations of Scientific Theories
Lane, P.C.R.; Gobet, F. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-04)Computer programs have become a popular representation for scientific theories, particularly for implementing models or simulations of observed phenomena. Expressing a theory as an executable computer program provides many ... -
Modelling the relationship between visual short-term memory capacity and recall ability
Smith, R.L.; Lane, P.C.R.; Gobet, F. (2008) -
Multi-task learning and transfer: The effect of algorithm representation
Lane, P.C.R.; Gobet, F. (ICML, 2005)Exploring multiple classes of learning algorithms for those algorithms which perform best in multiple tasks is a complex problem of multiple-criteria optimisation. We use a genetic algorithm to locate sets of models which ... -
Perception in chess and beyond : commentary on Linhares and Freitas (2010)
Lane, P.C.R.; Gobet, F. (2011)Linhares and Freitas (2010; LF) argue that experts use analogical or semantic similarity, similarities that are not available from direct surface representations. LF make their case using a critique of Chase and Simon ... -
Synthesising cognitive models with genetic programming
Lane, Peter; Gobet, F.; Pirrone, Angelo; Bartlett, Laura; Javed, Noman (2023-06-13)Developing, understanding and verifying the behaviour of cognitive models is a non-trivial task. A good cognitive model explains and predicts human behaviour in a particular experimental setting. Cognitive models are often ...
