Dynamics and automaticity of context: A cognitive modelling approach

Kokinov, B. (1999). Dynamics and automaticity of context: A cognitive modelling approach. In Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, Springer Verlag.

Abstract:

AI and psychological approaches to context are contrasted and the dynamic and automatic nature of the continuous context change in human cognition is emphasized. A dynamic theory of context is presented which defines context as the dynamic state of human mind. It describes the interaction between memory, perception, and reasoning in forming context as well as how they are influenced by context. A general cognitive architecture, DUAL, is presented that implements the mechanisms of context formation and accounts for the context-sensitivity of human cognition. A model of human problem solving, AMBR, has been built upon the DUAL architecture and the simulation experiments performed with it produce data that are coherent with experimental data on human problem solving.
