<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US"
lang="EN-US">Under which
conditions do we perceive two events as causally related and
classify them as
cause and effect? Early works by Michotte (1962) and experiments
by Einhorn and
Hogarth (1986) provide answers to this question from a
psychological perspective.
Both lines of research indicate that the perception of a causal
relationship
depends on a number of cues, such as temporal order and spatial
contiguity.
Starting from these classical works, the PhD project will build
a computational
model for the perception of causality. The model will be
developed in the
cognitive architecture ACT-R (Anderson et al., 2004). Events
during human
computer interaction will serve as cases for the modeling and
experiments will
be run to validate the models.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US"
lang="EN-US">The PhD
project will be </span><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB"

in close cooperation with the other scholarship-holders of the
research cluster
6 “Usability Workbench”. It will be part of a research program

“Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Ergonomics” at TU Berlin. </span><span
style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">Applicants for this
projects </span><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB"
lang="EN-GB">must have a master degree or diploma
in psychology, human factors, computer science or cognitive
science. In
particular, experience in modelling with ACT-R is required.
Expertise in
empirical methods and statistics as well as good skills in
German and English
are also expected. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
