The Mekik Cognitive Architecture Lab made its debut at CSBBCS this year, presenting no less than five posters.
Defne Tuncer presented an experiment testing a computational model of temporal binding, Mani Setayesh presented work on a new approach to learning rule parameters in the Clarion cognitive architecture, Dominic Le presented a mechanistic model of causal reasoning based on spreading activation and lateral inhibition, and I presented work with Mengxi Liu on measuring how much time participants invest in problem solving and my own work on developing some axiomatic foundations for weighted-sum representations of evidential support in spreading activation and evidence accumulation models.
Many thanks to the organizers for a stimulating and fun conference and to fellow CSBBCS goers for their questions and comments. See you all next year!
