Topic: Cognitive Models for Number Series Induction Problems

The ability to detect regularities and generalize over them is one of the central building blocks of human intelligence. The most impressive demonstration of this ability in learning grammatical rules for ones native language from streams of language input. In many I.Q. tests, induction of number series is included as a sub-test for the domain of reasoning and it is classified as sub-test measuring the g-factor (general intelligence) which is thought to be the foundation of other more specialized areas such as verbal intelligence.

In the seminar we will study literature from psychology, cognitive modeling, and artificial intelligence addressing number series induction. We will identify specific research questions concerning number series induction and will use these questions to structure and guide the presentation of research findings. Furthermore, we will identify a small practical task (such as testing a specific cognitive model or AI approach) which will be worked on during the seminar course.
