{"pk":26106,"title":"A Computational Exploration of Problem-Solving Strategies and Gaze Behaviorson the Block Design Task","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The block design task, a standardized test of nonverbal reason-ing, is often used to characterize atypical patterns of cognitionin individuals with developmental or neurological conditions.Many studies suggest that, in addition to looking at quantita-tive differences in block design speed or accuracy, observingqualitative differences in individuals’ problem-solving strate-gies can provide valuable information about a person’s cogni-tion. However, it can be difficult to tie theories at the levelof problem-solving strategy to predictions at the level of ex-ternally observable behaviors such as gaze shifts and patternsof errors. We present a computational architecture that is usedto compare different models of problem-solving on the blockdesign task and to generate detailed behavioral predictions foreach different strategy. We describe the results of three differ-ent modeling experiments and discuss how these results pro-vide greater insight into the analysis of gaze behavior and errorpatterns on the block design task.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"artificial intelligence; cognitive assessment; non-verbal intelligence; spatial reasoning; visual attention."}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9xw093cn","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Maithilee","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kunda","name_suffix":"","institution":"Georgia Institute of Technology","department":""},{"first_name":"Mohamed","middle_name":"El","last_name":"Banani","name_suffix":"","institution":"Georgia Institute of Technology","department":""},{"first_name":"James","middle_name":"M.","last_name":"Rehg","name_suffix":"","institution":"Georgia Institute of Technology","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2016-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26106/galley/15742/download/"}]}
