文档介绍：Cognition and Multi-Agent Interaction
From Cognitive Modeling to Social Simulation
This book explores the intersection between cognitive sciences and
social sciences. In particular, it explores the intersection between
individual cognitive modeling and modeling of multi-agent inter-
action. The two contributing fields – individual cognitive modeling
(especially cognitive architectures) and modeling of multi-agent inter-
action (including social simulation and, to some extent, multi-agent
systems) – have seen phenomenal growth in recent years. However,
the interaction of these two fields has not been sufficiently devel-
oped. The interaction of the two may be more significant than either
alone. They bring with them enormous intellectual capitals. These in-
tellectual capitals can be profitably leveraged in creating true synergy
between the two fields, leading to better understanding of both in-
dividual cognition and sociocultural processes. It is possible that an
integrative field of study in cognitive and social sciences is emerging
and we are laying the foundation for it.
Ron Sun is Professor of Cognitive Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute. A well-known researcher in cognitive science, Ron Sun leads
research projects investigating fundamental structures of the human
mind. In particular, he recently published Duality of the Mind, explor-
ing the interaction of implicit and explicit cognition. He is also the
founding co-editor-in-chief of the journal Cognitive Systems Research,
focusing on integrative cognitive research.
