Cognitive radio (CR) is considered as a key enabling technology for dynamic spectrum access to improve spectrum efficiency. Although the CR concept was invented with the core idea of realizing “cognition”, the research on measuring CR cognitive capabilities and intelligence is largely open. Deriving the intelligence measure of CR not only can lead to the development of new CR technologies, but ...

Computational cognitive models can embody the structures and processes proposed in a cognitive theory. However, they do not necessarily reveal the theory’s underlying assumptions and specifications. This study aims to bridge the gap between cognitive theory and its computational implementation, focusing on a case of mental model theory on human reasoning. Using a mathematics-based and staticall...

This study endeavors to complement the theory of anthropogenesis worked out by Michael Tomasello and his colleagues with a theory of cultural development, entitled CCCD (communicative and cognitive cultural development) theory. In the paper both the structure of this theory and its theoretical underpinnings and empirical evidence are outlined. Four levels of cognitive development in CCCD are ma...

The ability to model independent decision makers whose actions potentially affect all other decision makers makes game theory attractive to analyze the performances of wireless communication systems. Recently, there has been growing interest in adopting game theoretic methods to cognitive radio networks for power control, rate adaptation and channel access schemes. This work presents several re...

The Psi theory of human action regulation is a candidate for a cognitive architecture that tackles the problem of the interrelation of motivation and emotion with cognitive processes. We have transferred this theory into a cognitive modeling framework, implemented as an AI architecture, called MicroPsi. Here, we describe the main assumptions of the Psi theory and summarize a neural prototyping ...

The CLARION cognitive architecture has been shown to be capable of simulating and explaining a wide range of psychological tasks and data. Currently, two theories exist to explain the psychological phenomenon of performance degradation under pressure: the distraction theory and the explicit-monitoring theory. However, neither provides a detailed mechanistic explanation of the exact processes in...

Existing models that integrate emotion and cognition generally do not fully specify why cognition needs emotion and conversely why emotion needs cognition. In this paper, we present a unified computational model that combines an abstract cognitive theory of behavior control (PEACTIDM) and a detailed theory of emotion (based on an appraisal theory), integrated in a theory of cognitive architectu...

This article provides a tutorial overview of cognitive architectures that can form a theoretical foundation for designing multimedia instruction. Cognitive architectures include a description of memory stores, memory codes, and cognitive operations. Architectures that are relevant to multimedia learning include Paivio’s dual coding theory, Baddeley’s working memory model, Engelkamp’s multimodal...

This paper describes an exploratory study observing the use of Minecraft (a popular sandbox style online video game environment) in a high school English literature classroom. We use Piaget and Inhelder’s (1969) constructivist theories about the formal operational stage of development to interpret the concepts of plot and characterization in three student produced films that were created within...

Two of the main goals of artificial in1 lenged this traditional approach. One of it, then we have a vicious circle between telligence understanding human cogthese is constructivism, which has spread the original and the knowledge of it. Innition, and building computer systems particularly in the last 20 years but whose stead, Piaget’s view is that “to know is to that perform as well as people i...
