In this way, aspects of model performance such as response accuracy and reaction times emerge as a consequence of neural parameters such as the neurotransmitter time constants. It has been used to model adaptive motor control, visual attention, serial list memory, reinforcement learning, Tower of Hanoi, and fluid intelligence. Participants will learn to construct these kinds of models, starting with generic tasks like representing values and positions, and ending with full production-like systems. There will also be special emphasis on extracting various forms of data out of a model, such that it can be compared to experimental data.</span></p><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><p dir="ltr" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;">PRIMs</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;">Teacher: Niels Taatgen (University of Groningen)</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;">Website: </span><a href="https://www.ai.rug.nl/~niels/prims/index.html" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.ai.rug.nl/~niels/prims/index.html&source=gmail&ust=1707405872238000&usg=AOvVaw1v-DbHxmoSwiSCflCNIfBN" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="enhancr_card_7846801516">PRIMs</a></p><div><br></div><div id="ydpcca97e7eenhancr_card_7846801516" class="ydpcca97e7eyahoo-link-enhancr-card ydpcca97e7eyahoo-link-enhancr-not-allow-cover ydpcca97e7eymail-preserve-class ydpcca97e7eymail-preserve-style" style="max-width:400px;font-family:"YahooSans VF", YahooSans, "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" data-url="https://www.ai.rug.nl/~niels/prims/index.html" data-type="YENHANCER" data-size="MEDIUM" contenteditable="false"><a href="https://www.ai.rug.nl/~niels/prims/index.html" style="text-decoration:none !important;color:#000 !important" class="ydpcca97e7eyahoo-enhancr-cardlink" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><table border="0" class="ydpcca97e7ecard-wrapper ydpcca97e7eyahoo-ignore-table" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="max-width:400px"><tbody><tr><td width="400"><table border="0" class="ydpcca97e7ecard ydpcca97e7eyahoo-ignore-table" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" style="max-width:400px;border-width:1px;border-style:solid;border-color:rgb(224, 228, 233);border-radius:2px"><tbody><tr><td><table border="0" class="ydpcca97e7ecard-info ydpcca97e7eyahoo-ignore-table" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="background:#fff;position:relative;z-index:2;width:100%;max-width:400px;border-radius:0 0 2px 2px;border-top:1px solid rgb(224, 228, 233)"><tbody><tr><td style="background-color:#ffffff;padding:16px 0 16px 12px;vertical-align:top;border-radius:0 0 0 2px"></td><td style="vertical-align:middle;padding:12px 24px 16px 12px;width:99%;font-family:"YahooSans VF", YahooSans, "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;border-radius:0 0 2px 0"><h2 class="ydpcca97e7ecard-title" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 6px; font-family: "YahooSans VF", YahooSans, "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(29, 34, 40); max-width: 314px;">PRIMs</h2><p class="ydpcca97e7ecard-description" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; color: rgb(151, 158, 168);"></p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><p dir="ltr" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;">How do people handle and prioritize multiple tasks? How can we learn something in the context of one task, and partially benefit from it in another task? The goal of PRIMs is to cross the artificial boundary that most cognitive architectures have imposed on themselves by studying single tasks. It has mechanisms to model transfer of cognitive skills, and the competition between multiple goals. In the tutorial we will look at how PRIMs can model phenomena of cognitive transfer and cognitive training, and how multiple goals compete for priority in models of distraction.</span></p><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><p dir="ltr" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;">– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – </span></p></div><br></div></div></body></html>
