Computational models help us understand how people think in different ways. Here’s how they do it:
Using Lots of Data: They look at big sets of information. For example, the Human Connectome Project has information from over 1,200 people. This helps the models see different thinking patterns among individuals.
Changing Settings: Models like ACT-R can adjust settings, like how quickly someone learns. This helps the models better match people’s different ways of learning and thinking.
Testing and Proving: Research shows that these models can predict 75% of the differences in how people think. This shows that they really can capture what makes each person's thinking unique.
