This volume features the complete text of the material presented at the Twenty-Fourth Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society. As in previous years, the symposium included an interesting mixture of papers on many topics from researchers with diverse backgrounds and different goals, presenting a multifaceted view of cognitive science. The volume includes all papers, posters, and summaries of symposia presented at this leading conference that brings cognitive scientists together. The 2002 meeting dealt with issues of representing and modeling cognitive processes as they appeal to scholars in all subdisciplines that comprise cognitive science: psychology, computer science, neuroscience, linguistics, and philosophy.
The field of cognitive modeling has progressed beyond modeling
cognition in the context of simple laboratory tasks and begun to
attack the problem of modeling it in more complex, realistic
environments, such as those studied by researchers in the field of
human factors. The problems that the cognitive modeling community
is tackling focus on modeling certain problems of communication and
control that arise when integrating with the external environment
factors such as implicit and explicit knowledge, emotion,
cognition, and the cognitive system. These problems must be solved
in order to produce integrated cognitive models of moderately
complex tasks. Architectures of cognition in these tasks focus on
the control of a central system, which includes control of the
central processor itself, initiation of functional processes, such
as visual search and memory retrieval, and harvesting the results
of these functional processes. Because the control of the central
system is conceptually different from the internal control required
by individual functional processes, a complete architecture of
cognition must incorporate two types of theories of control: Type 1
theories of the structure, functionality, and operation of the
controller, and type 2 theories of the internal control of
functional processes, including how and what they communicate to
the controller. This book presents the current state of the art for
both types of theories, as well as contrasts among current
approaches to human-performance models. It will be an important
resource for professional and student researchers in cognitive
science, cognitive-engineering, and human-factors.
The papers in this volume represent the work presented at the 1996 workshop. One of the goals of the workshop, in 1986, was to bring together the small and disparate group of researchers who were wrestling with difficult and complex issues of programming. The text includes papers, posters, tutorials and panels used at the 1996 workshop.
