Statistical models as cognitive models of individual differences in reasoning
There are individual differences in reasoning which go beyond dimensions of ability. Valid models of cognition must take these differences into account, otherwise they characterise group mean phenomena which explain nobody. The gap is closing between formal cognitive models, which are designed from the ground up to explain cognitive phenomena, and statistical models, which traditionally concern...

15 صفحه اولIndividual differences in syllogistic reasoning: deduction rules or mental models?
Two studies examined the correlates of reasoning ability on a syllogistic reasoning task in subjects who lacked formal background in logic. The main issue addressed was the extent to which reasoning proficiency arises from the consideration of multiple possible set relations (mental models) as opposed to explicit or implicit reliance on deduction rules. Evidence for the use of both models and r...
متن کاملBelief revisions in the cognitive development of proportional reasoning: dynamics, statistical models and computational models
In the balance scale task, children are asked to predict the movement of a balance scale. Equally heavy weights can be placed on the arms of the scale, at equally spaced distances. Figure 1 shows a graphical display of a balance scale problem. Blocks underneath the arms prevent the scale from tipping. The task assesses proportional reasoning as it requires the understanding of the multiplicativ...
متن کاملBayesian Models of Individual Differences
According to Bayesian models, perception and cognition depend on the optimal combination of noisy incoming evidence with prior knowledge of the world. Individual differences in perception should therefore be jointly determined by a person's sensitivity to incoming evidence and his or her prior expectations. It has been proposed that individuals with autism have flatter prior distributions than ...
