{"pk":29179,"title":"Do You Need More than Two Subjects: Using Cognitive Modeling to MakeAccurate Predictions for Individual Subjects","subtitle":null,"abstract":"In experimental research, large numbers of participants are used to average out individual differences in the data. However,differences in task performance may be largely due to two factors; lack of task training, and different micro-strategies. Weimplement a methodology that removes the effect of these factors, requires only 23 participants, and still produces largeamounts of data. Other studies have been published using a similar methodology (Cousineau & Shiffrin, 2004; Gray &Boehm-Davis, 2000). Our study is a revision of previous research using a mobile game (West et al., 2018). Participants aretrained extensively on the game to ensure they are experts. The study includes a predictive cognitive model and the game-design is based on an apparent micro-strategy. We hypothesize that the same micro-strategies under identical conditions,should produce identical results across participants and the model. Suggesting the model may exist in the mind of humanexperts.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Member Abstracts","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9271g359","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Emily","middle_name":"","last_name":"Greve","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carleton University","department":""},{"first_name":"Elisabeth","middle_name":"","last_name":"Reid","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carleton University","department":""},{"first_name":"Robert","middle_name":"","last_name":"West","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carleton University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2019-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/29179/galley/19050/download/"}]}
