One of the most invigorating streams of research in the field of cognitive science is the practice of cognitive modeling. We’re far from understanding how the mind works, but by building cognitive ...

Computational cognitive models typically focus on individual behavior in isolation. Models frequently employ closedform solutions in which a state of the system can be computed if all parameters and ...

Researchers used computational modeling to uncover mutations in the human genome that likely influenced the evolution of human cognition. This groundbreaking research in human genomics could lead to a ...

Chess grandmasters are often held up as the epitome of thinking far ahead. But can others, with a modest amount of practice, learn to think further ahead? In addressing this question, a team of ...

Researchers say the new computational model can “simulate and predict” human behavior in any domain, something they claim will help fast-track new scientific discoveries. A team of researchers from ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- When interacting with another person, you likely spend part of your time trying to anticipate how they will feel about what you’re saying or doing. This task requires a cognitive ...

It takes a lot of time - and money - to diagnose Alzheimer's disease. After running lengthy in-person neuropsychological exams, clinicians have to transcribe, review, and analyze every response in ...

The National Science Foundation awarded Grant Shields, assistant professor of psychological science at the U of A, with a prestigious Faculty Early Career Development award to support his research on ...
