Cognition and Behavior

Cognition and Behavior

Social psychology examines the complex interplay between individual mental processes and social interactions. Historically, the field was divided into two domains: social behavior and social cognition. Researchers focusing on social behavior analyzed actions within social contexts, such as conformity, aggression, or cooperation. Meanwhile, social cognition researchers investigated how people perceive, interpret, and mentally represent their social environments. However, modern perspectives no...

Schemas

Schemas

A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

Automatic processing refers to the cognitive operations that occur without conscious intent or awareness, playing a fundamental role in shaping social cognition and behavior. These processes enable individuals to navigate complex social environments efficiently by relying on mental shortcuts and pre-existing knowledge structures known as schemas. One of the most influential mechanisms underlying automatic processing is priming, which subtly activates mental representations through exposure to...

Area of Science:

Computer Science
Human-Computer Interaction
Ubiquitous Computing

Background:

Human behavior modeling is crucial for intelligent systems.
Mobile devices offer rich sensing capabilities for context awareness.
Existing methods often lack integration of diverse sensor data for comprehensive context.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a cognitive phone architecture for sensing context and modeling human behavior.
To abstract and represent context using a hierarchical Context Pyramid model.
To implement and evaluate a system for real-time context recognition on mobile devices.

Main Methods:

Integration of positioning technologies and phone sensors for capturing human movement.
Development of the Context Pyramid model with six hierarchical levels.
Utilization of ubiquitous positioning, motion recognition, and behavior modeling techniques.
Implementation of the Location-Motion-Context (LoMoCo) model.

Main Results:

The LoMoCo model achieved the Activity-Level Descriptors level of the Context Pyramid.
Location accuracy reached 1.9 meters in corridors and 3.5 meters in open spaces.
Motion state recognition accuracy reached up to 92.9% using a Least Square-Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM) classifier.

Conclusions:

The proposed cognitive phone architecture effectively senses context and models human behavior.
The LoMoCo model demonstrates feasibility in achieving sophisticated context awareness on mobile devices.
High accuracy in location and motion recognition supports the potential of this approach for real-world applications.
