Development of cognitive architecture where the agents at different levels exhibit different levels of thinking. The paper primarily focus on building the skill tree at the learning layer of the architecture. These include the discovery of one’s own body, including its structure and dynamics. Also the acquisition of associated cognitive skills such as self and non-self-distinction. This can be ...

I analyze the effect of an unexpected influx of immigrants on the price of skill and hence on the earnings, human capital accumulation, and educational attainment of native workers. In order to study these effects, I develop a general equilibrium model with heterogeneous workers who differ in their level of skill and in their ability to learn new skills. These workers accumulate human capital o...

This paper presents a methodology for observing human skill by using a virtual task space constructed by the haptic virtual reality technology. First a haptic simulator developed for a 2-dimensional pegin-hole assembly operation in the virtual environment is presented. To examine the validity of the simulator, a comparison study between the peg-in-hole task using the simulator and that in the r...

the objective of this research is to explore the effect of international outsourcing on economic growth in asia-pacific countries. accordingly, a panel regression model based on soderbom and teal (2003) is estimated using data of the considered countries over the period 1995-2006. in addition to international outsourcing, the model includes human capital, labor force and physical capital as the...

Metaheuristic algorithms are widely used in solving optimization problems. In this paper, a new metaheuristic algorithm called Skill Optimization Algorithm (SOA) is proposed to solve The fundamental inspiration designing SOA human efforts acquire and improve skills. Various stages of mathematically modeled two phases, including: (i) exploration, skill acquisition from experts (ii) exploitation,...

Using data from an existing pre-algebra computer-based tutor, we analyzed the covariance of item-types with the goal of describing a more effective way to assign skill labels to item-types. Analyzing covariance is important because it allows us to place the skills in a related network in which we can identify the role each skill plays in learning the overall domain. This placement allows more e...
