NAV: A tool for producing presentation-quality animations of graphical cognitive
model dynamics
Trent Kriete, Matthew House, Bobby Bodenheimer, and David Noelle
Abstract
Computational models of cognition often exhibit complex dynamics that
are difficult to discern with-out the use of visualization
tools. Current tools often provide insight only to the modeling
expert, however, and they provide limited functionality for
communicating model dynamics to the non-expert, as is needed during
scientific presentations and in educational settings. We present NAV,
the Node Activity Visualizer: an easy-to-use and portable software
tool that interactively transforms the output of cognitive modeling
simulators into presentation-quality animations of model performance.
