PSYC 7313 - Computational Models Cog Sci

(3) A survey of popular techniques used to model mental processes and experimental data. Both computational and mathematical models will be considered. Examples include: artificial neural networks for psycholinguistics, Bayesian methods for learning and categorization, general processing tree models for reaction time studies, diffusion and random walk processes of memory, and knowledge representation. The seminar will focus on conceptual issues while providing a brief mathematical introduction to the models for a general behavioral science audience.
