Cognitive Model for a Mental Rotation Task (2023)
Preuss, Kai; Russwinkel, Nele (Contributor)
The cognitive model solved a simulated version of the mental rotation task provided to the participants, based on cognitive processes theorised by Shepard and Metzler [1971], Cooper and Shepard [1973], Just and Carpenter [1976], and Yuille and Steiger [1982]. It followed the basic processing stages (visual encoding, transformation and comparison, and motor response) described by Cooper and Shepard [1973] and Just and Carpenter [1976]. Two separate solving tracks were assumed by the model, akin to the wholesale and piecemeal solving strategies originally suggested by Yuille and Steiger [1982]. An instant-based learning mechanism included in ACT-R [Gonzalez et al., 2003] is used to choose the appropriate strategy based on familiarity with the presented stimulus.
The updated model is set to simulate activity data to compare to dipole-modeled and clustered EEG data from Hilton et al. (2021), and contains small bugfixes.
