Signal Detection Theory

A means to quantify the ability to discern between signal and noise.

Ising Model of Explanatory Coherence

A model that applies the Ising model to explain coherence in human reasoning.

Bayesian Sampler

A method in Bayesian inference that samples from the posterior distribution.

Phase Transition Models

Models that describe transitions between different states of matter or systems.

Multiple-Cue Judgment Model

Models that describe how people integrate multiple cues to make judgments.

Agent-Based Model

A computational model for simulating the interactions of agents to assess their effects on the system.

Resource Rational Analysis

A framework that combines rational models with assumptions about cognitive limitations.

Probabilistic Reasoning

Reasoning and making decisions based on probabilities.

Parallel Constraint Satisfaction Network Model

A model that explains decision making by finding a consistent assignment of values to variables.

Connectionism

A theoretical framework for understanding the mind as a network of simple units.

Category Abstraction Learning

Models that explain how humans learn and abstract categories from examples.

Categorization Model

Models that explain how humans categorize objects and concepts.

Leaky Competing Accumulator

A model of decision making that incorporates both leakage and competition between accumulating evidence.

Causal Graphs

Graphical models that represent causal relationships between variables.

Cusp-Catastrophe Models

A type of catastrophe model that describes how small changes in conditions can lead to sudden shifts in behavior.

Ising Model

A mathematical model of ferromagnetism in statistical mechanics.

Memory Models

Models that explain how memory functions in the human brain.

Statistical Models

Models that use statistical methods to describe and infer patterns in data.

Network Models

Models that represent systems as networks of interconnected nodes.

Reinforcement Learning

A type of machine learning where an agent learns to make decisions by receiving rewards or penalties.

Drift-Diffusion Models

A cognitive model that describes decision making as a process of evidence accumulation.

Evidence Accumulation Models

Models that explain decision making through the accumulation of evidence over time.

Ordinary Differential Equations

A framework for modeling the change in variables over time using differential equations.

Exemplar Model

A model of categorization where objects are classified based on their similarity to specific examples.

Structural Equation Model

A multivariate statistical analysis technique that is used to analyze structural relationships.

Amortized Bayesian Inference

A method of approximate inference that leverages neural networks to perform rapid Bayesian inference.
