{"pk":24055,"title":"A \"Rational\" Framework for Self-Control","subtitle":null,"abstract":"While a number of disciplines have empirically investigated self-control (e.g., psychology, cognitive science, and sociology), along with philosophy, they have offered differing (although sometimes overlapping) perspectives. A process-based, mechanistic theory explaining empirical self-control data can help integrate these perspectives. A mechanistic (computational) approach through a computational cognitive architecture where simulations can be performed may unify the interpretations of empirical studies based on various (e.g., implicit-explicit) conflicts as well as utility calculation (e.g., from motivational considerations). Such a framework facilitates simulations that account for human data and capture notions of self-control capacity and control fatigue/reduction, facilitating detailed explanations.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Psychology; Cognitive architectures; Theory of Mind; Computational Modeling"}],"section":"Papers with Poster Presentation","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6jb8f6g9","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Adan","middle_name":"Alberto","last_name":"Gomez","name_suffix":"","institution":"Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute","department":""},{"first_name":"Ron","middle_name":"","last_name":"Sun","name_suffix":"","institution":"RPI","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2024-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24055/galley/13649/download/"},{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24055/galley/20894/download/"}]}
