85-412/712 Cognitive Modeling Project

In the second part of the course each student will develop their proposal to model some laboratory task in the literature and implement their own model.

  • Your class report should be a presentation no more than 20 minutes in which you describe the task you are working on, how you are working on it, and the progress you have made to date. It is an opportunity for us to provide you with some mid-course direction. 10 of the remaining class participation points will be awarded for this presentation.
  • The final written report should be 5-20 pages. You can submit it by email (pdf or doc preferred!) to both John Anderson and Phil Pavlik or you can submit a hard copy to Helen Borek, by May 6th 4pm.
  • The code for the project should be submitted electronically in the directory
    /afs/andrew.cmu.edu/hss/psy/act-r/85-412/project/<your-andrew-id>
    (with "your-andrew-id" replaced by your login id). Please refer to the instructions for submitting the assignments for more details about transferring your files.
