Validation Process based in M++ for Introspective Reasoning Trace of the Cognitive Function Perception in Metacognitive Architecture CARINA

Abstract

This paper presents the representation based in M++ of introspective reasoning trace in cognitive architecture CARINA. Reasoning trace is a declarative knowledge structure that captures the mental states and decision-making sequence in the action-perception cycle of a cognitive agent. M++ is a DSVL for modeling metacognition in intelligent systems and incorporates two meta-reasoning mechanisms, i.e., introspective monitoring and meta-level control. M++ validation was performed on two dimensions: potential usefulness and usability. For the validation process, the following methods were used: empirical study based on user perception. Regarding the relation of the behaviors represented in M ++, 85.7% of the experts considered that the representation is adequate compared to 14.3% that did not consider it.
