Funded Activity Summary

Absolute identification and beyond: A comprehensive, integrated architecture for speeded choice. Absolute identification (AI) is an important field of study for both theoretical and practical reasons. Theoretically, advances in AI study shed light on fundamental memory and attentional limitations of human cognition. Practically, AI models a task that is useful and necessary in everyday life and the extensions we propose are similarly useful (e.g., a model of the confidence with which judgments are made). Apart from the epistemological benefits, the proposal will rebuild the role that Australian researchers have previously played in mathematical approaches to basic cognitive problems (including decision making and AI).
