Abstract
Using the Wason card selection task, we model how humansdecide to engage in further deliberation after generating anintuitive response. Central to our model is the Feeling ofRightness which is the fluency with which one makes adecision, and how good one feels about it. The model isimplemented in a cognitive architecture, ACT-R. A core affectmechanism and the Feeling of Rightness component are usedto drive the decision. A training procedure was used to simulateindividual differences in heuristic and analytical behavior.Different degrees of reinforcement were then used to allow themodel to learn logical skills, and acquire differences in FOR,which determined the degree of further deliberation. By relyingon ACT-R’s different memory components and the core affectmechanism we were able to reproduce the variation betweenanalytical and reactive behavior.
