    "title": "The Cognitive Complexity of Rule Changes",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Concept change is a fundamental cognitive process that enables individuals to adapt to new and conflicting information. To investigate the mechanisms underlying such adaptations, we introduce the Counting Game, an abstract rule-based paradigm. In this article, we evaluate whether the paradigm effectively captures complexity differences between different types of manipulations. Our experiment involved counting tasks where participants had to apply rules that modify how certain objects are counted, enabling us to examine the effects of perceptual complexity, rule operations, rule interactions, temporal dependencies and scope. We analyzed accuracy and response times to assess whether these manipulations elicit desired effects. Additionally, we constructed predictive models to identify key features influencing task difficulty. By evaluating the theoretical soundness of the Counting Game, we establish an empirical foundations for future studies on forgetting operations, among other concept changes.",
