2 sheet going around name! department! position! address

3 NO CLASS next week (MLK Day)!! CANCELLED CLASS last week!! Class Presentations: probably Tuesday (Reading Day) after the end of classes (per Dean s Office)

4 What is a model?! What kind of models have you seen?! What are models used for?! Why would we create a model?! Why do you want to learn about modeling?

5 course requirements - readings, attendance, participation (10%) - homework assignments (60%) - final project (30%) auditors and postdocs and others - all graduate students should audit (see Lydia)

6 course web site login : p318 password : p318 can be found from my lab web site, under people, under me, under courses taught

7 required readings Lewandowsky & Farrell textbook pdf files online recommended! Busemeyer & Diederich textbook (available at amazon or elsewhere online)

8 MATLAB who knows it? who has it? all examples and homework assignments will be in MATLAB if someone needs to get access to Matlab, let me know.

9 homework assignments! use Matlab! will be posted on the web site may include some skeleton Matlab code solutions will be posted later

10 final project implement, test, fit, evaluate one or more computational models related to your research (not something you re already doing in your lab) present modeling results (15-20 min) brief description of the model and the situation being evaluated (a couple pages of text)!! include code that I can run this is not a research paper!

11 the who, what, where, when, why, and how of modeling

21 observed stimuli Model selection, measurement, summarization Pimo hallmark of cognitive models is that they are derived from basic principles Unobservable of cognition. This observed is what makes cognitive models Mental/Neural different from generic behavior statistical Processes models or empirical curve fitting models. For example, regression models, factor analysis models, structural selection, measurement, equation summarization models, and time series models are generally applicable to data from any field, as long as that data meets the statistical assumptions, such as for example, normality and linearity. These statistical assumptions are not derived from any principles of cognition, and they may even be inconsistent with the known facts of cognition. (Busemeyer & Diederich) measured behavior predicted behavior

22 do we still need models of mechanisms if we can just look at neural mechanisms directly?

41 To have one s hunches about how a simple combination of processes will behave repeated dashed by one s own computer program is a humbling experience that no experimental psychologist should miss. Surprises are likely when the model has properties that are inherently difficult to understand, such as variability, parallelism, and nonlinearity - all, undoubtedly, properties of the brain. (Hintzman, 1990).

199 Free parameters reflect unknown properties

200 free parameters exist in formal models because they are mathematical expressions even verbal theories have parameters but they are hidden

201 e.g., a verbal theory might say that people are biased to make one response over another HOW MUCH MORE bias? e.g., a verbal theory might say that you pay more attention to one stimulus than another stimulus HOW MUCH MORE attention?

202 With enough free parameters you can fit anything There s one sense that this is true for models that have more parameters than data points.! But sometimes this is said dismissively of any model that has any free parameters (which basically means any model).

203 Is a model falsifiable?

215 In my opinion the theory here is the logically simplest relativistic field theory that is at all possible. But this does not mean that nature might not obey a more complex theory. More complex theories have frequently been proposed In my view, such more complicated systems and their combinations should be considered only if there exist physical-empirical reasons to do so. Albert Einsten (1921)
