Inner simulation sustaining the deliberative process in a cognitive architecture
Authors: Othalia Larue, Pierre Poirier, Roger Nkambou
Abstract
We propose a three level cognitive architecture for the simulation of cognitive phenomena. This architecture is based on Stanovich?s tripartite framework (2010), a unified model of cognition, which provides an explanation of how deliberative (characterized by sequentiality) and adaptive (characterized by reactivity) human behaviour emerges from the interaction of three distinct cognitive levels (autonomous/reactive, algorithmic/cognitive control, and reflective). In previous work (Larue et al, 2012) we focused on the interaction of algorithmic and reactive level on a task evaluating cognitive control. In this paper, we focus on the interaction between reflective and algorithmic level. More precisely, thanks to a Wisconsin card Sorting task, a task that evaluates cognitive flexibility (the ability to change strategies), we study how cognitive decoupling (or inner simulation) supports the deliberative behaviour and hypothesis testing.
