Guidelines for developing explainable cognitive models

conference paper
Cognitive models can be used to generate the behavior of virtual players in simulation-based training systems. To learn from such training, the virtual players must display realistic human behavior, and trainees need to understand why the other players behave the way they do. This understanding can be achieved by explaining the underlying reasons for the virtual players’ behavior. In this paper, it is discussed how to design cognitive models in such a way that they are able to explain the behavior they generate. Three users studies were carried out to assess what type of explanations are useful for training, and how that relates to cognitive model design. Several guidelines for developing explainable cognitive models are proposed.
