{"pk":32236,"title":"Identifying Dual-Task Executive Process Knowledge using EPIC-Soar","subtitle":null,"abstract":"In this paper, we present a lineage of models that is used to identify the additional knowledge required to perform two tasks concurrently at an expert level. The underlying architecture used for this modeling is EPIC-Soar, a combination of the sensory and motor modules of EPIC, and the cognitive processing of Soar Within EPIC-Soar, we build models for the Wickens' task, a combination of tracking and choice-reaction time tasks. A key product of the models is an identification of the knowledge required to combine these two tasks: the executive process knowledge. We also demonstrate that it is possible to learn some of this knowledge through experience. We achieve performance comparable, in terms of error-rates and reaction times, to human data and an EPIC model.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Long Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1s4726qx","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Ronald","middle_name":"S.","last_name":"Chong","name_suffix":"","institution":"Program in Neural, Informational and Behavioral Sciences, University of Southern California","department":""},{"first_name":"John","middle_name":"E.","last_name":"Laird","name_suffix":"","institution":"Seminaire de Recherche en Sciences Cognitives, Universite Libre de Bruxells","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1997-01-02T02:00:00+08:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/32236/galley/23301/download/"}]}
