In Cognitive Science , a cognitive model is a model of Cognitive Processes . Briefly put, it is the use of computers to model cognitive behavior (and sometimes the study of cognitive behavior to improve the usage of computers). Cognitive models are used to study e.g. Intelligent or Social Behaviour , and Emergent Properties of a Connectionist architecture. Cognitive modelling in the latter sense can be understood as Reverse Engineering some aspects of human cognition in researching Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning , as well as an attempt to better understand cognition; the computational research seeks to better understand both the human and machine cognitive methods. In contrast to a Cognitive Architecture , a model does not necessarily have an explanation to all aspects of cognition (cf. Holistic Approach ), but focuses on particular Cognitive Process es. Many cognitive models use the framework of Nouvelle AI , especially the Paradigm of Connectionism , to overcome a perceived poor biological plausibility of GOFAI (Good Old Fashioned AI). Some of the most popular frameworks for cognitive modeling include ACT-R and Soar . SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
