• Abstract: Immersion in a task is a prerequisite for creativity. However, excessive arousal in a single task has drawbacks, such as overlooking events outside of the task. To examine such a negative aspect, this study constructs a computational model of arousal dynamics where the excessively increased arousal makes the task transition difficult. The model was developed using functions integrated into the cognitive architecture Adaptive Control of Thought-Rational (ACT-R). Under the framework, arousal is treated as a coefficient affecting the overall activation level in the model. In our simulations, we set up two conditions demanding low and high arousal, trying to replicate corresponding human experiments. In each simulation condition, two sets of ACT-R parameters were assumed from the different interpretations of the human experimental settings. The results showed consistency of behavior between humans and models both in the two different simulation settings. This result suggests the validity of our assumptions and has implications of controlling arousal in our daily life.

  Using a pouring-marble task, our human study revealed two distinct error patterns when predicting pouring angles, differentiated by simulation time. We propose a dual-process framework, Simulation-Heuristics Model (SHM), where intuitive physics employs simulation for short-time simulation but switches to simulation when simulation becomes costly. The SHM aligns more precisely with human behavior and demonstrates consistent predictive performance across diverse scenarios, advancing our understanding of the adaptive nature of intuitive physical reasoning.

  Research into the models' internal representation of mental states remains limited. Recent work has used probing to demonstrate that LMs can represent beliefs of themselves and others. We report an extensive benchmark with various LM types with different model sizes. We are the first to study how prompt variations impact probing performance on theory of mind tasks.

  We propose to expose captured knowledge in the form of a directed acyclic causal graph. We also design this causal discovery process to be state-dependent, enabling it to model the dynamics in latent causal graphs. The proposed framework is composed of three parts: a dynamic causal discovery module, a causality encoding module, and a prediction module, and is trained in an end-to-end manner.

  Humans are highly adaptable, swiftly switching between different modes to handle different tasks, situations and contexts. In Human-object interaction (HOI) activities, these modes can be attributed to two mechanisms: (1) the large-scale consistent plan for the whole activity and (2) the small-scale children interactive actions that start and end along the timeline. This work proposes to model two concurrent mechanisms that jointly control human motion.

• Modelling human logical reasoning process in dynamic environmental stress with cognitive agents [13.171768256928509]
  We propose a cognitive agent integrating drift-diffusion with deep reinforcement learning to simulate granular stress effects on logical reasoning process. Leveraging a large dataset of 21,157 logical responses, we investigate performance impacts of dynamic stress. Quantitatively, the framework improves cognition modelling by capturing both subject-specific and stimuli-specific behavioural differences. Overall, this work demonstrates a powerful, data-driven methodology to simulate and understand the vagaries of human logical reasoning process in dynamic contexts.
