{ "pk": 26503, "title": "Transfer of Cognitive Skills in Developmental Tasks", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "The main question we try to answer in this paper is whetherstage-like progression in cognitive development can beexplained by transfer of cognitive skill among tasks. Wefocus on the following question: To what extent does trainingon one task improve the performance on another task? Thetasks are Piaget’s (1959) Balance Scale Task and NumberConservation Task, and a task that we will call the Une-Sentence Task, which is taken from Karmiloff-Smith's (1979)experiment on the acquisition of determiners in French. Were-implemented already existing models within theframework of the PRIMs cognitive architecture (Taatgen,2013). Each task was subdivided in certain stages related tothe complexity of the problem-solving strategies. We showthat mastery of a certain stage of a problem becomes easier ifa higher stage of another task is mastered first.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "transfer" }, { "word": "PRIMs" }, { "word": "cognitive architecture" }, { "word": "Developmental Tasks" }, { "word": "cognitive modeling" } ], "section": "Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/77c5m1ds", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Sarah", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Rupp", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Groningen", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Niels", "middle_name": "A.", "last_name": "Taatgen", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Groningen", "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/26503/galley/16139/download/" } ] }
