Cognitive modelling of attentional networks: efficiencies, interactions, impairments and development
… and attention deficit patients. In this thesis, cognitive modelling is used as a research tool to simulate the performance of subjects on the ANT, as well as variations of the ANT using ACT-R 6.0 cognitive architecture. All models are validated against human data using various goodness-of-fit …

Cognitive modelling and control of human error processes in human-computer interaction with safety critical IT systems in telehealth.
The field of telehealth has developed rapidly in recent years. It provides medical support particularly to those who are living in remote areas and in emergency cases. Although developments in both technology and practice have been rapid, there are still many gaps in our knowledge with regard to …

An investigation into the cognitive effects of instructional interface visualisations.
An investigation is conducted into the cognitive effects of using different computer based instructions media in acquisition of specific novel human skills. With recent rapid advances in computing and multimedia instructional delivery, several contemporary research have focussed on the best …

Seeing things as people: anthropomorphism and common-sense psychology
… is about common-sense psychology and its role in cognitive science. Put simply, the argument is that common-sense psychology is important because it offers clues to some complex problems in cognitive science, and because common-sense psychology has significant effects on our intuitions, both in …

Experimental user interface design toolkit for interaction research (IDTR).
… Interface evaluation and optimisation through cognitive modelling. This is achieved through the development and testing of a toolkit or platform titled Toolkit for Optimisation of Interface System Evolution (TOISE). The research is conducted in two main phases. In phase 1, the Adaptive Control …

Development of Recognition Memory: Process Dissociation of Recollection and Familiarity in Children
… dissertation was to advance this debate using a cognitive developmental approach. By investigating age-related changes of recognition memory across childhood as a function of theoretically motivated experimental manipulations, predictions drawn from single- and dual-process models of recognition …

Dissertations on decision-making: similarity, constructive judgements, morality and social dilemmas
… in QP theory as a mathematical framework for cognitive modelling. This theory is potentially relevant in any behavioural situation that involves uncertainty. QP theory is analogous to classical probability theory, though QP theory and classical probability (CP) theory are founded from …

INVESTIGATIONS ON COGNITIVE COMPUTATION AND COMPUTATIONAL COGNITION
… at the boundary between Computer Science and Cognitive (Neuro)Science. In particular, (1) we have worked on methodological improvements to clustering-based meta-analysis of neuroimaging data, which is a technique that allows to collectively assess, in a quantitative way, activation peaks from …

Making decisions under conflict with a continuous mind: from micro to macro time scales
… at different time scales can explain specific cognitive functions without postulating specialized modules for this function. To approach this hypothesis, chapter 4 will develop a theoretical and empirical framework to study decision making dynamically. The empirical part, building on the …
