Effects of Cognitive Complexity in Agent Simulation: Basics
Nasser Ghasem-Aghaee, Tuncer I. Ören · 2004
ABSTRACT: Software agents with personality can represent human personality traits and personality facets. Agents with dynamic personality can update the values of their personality traits based on changes in their personality facets. In this article, the importance and role of cognitive complexity in decision making in problem solving is stressed and the fact that as a personality trait, openness is related with cognitive complexity is pointed out. Hence, dynamic updates of openness corresponding to the changes in its facets can be used to update the values of cognitive complexity which in turn can affect the decision making abilities of the agents used in simulation.
