TOWARD THE COMPUTATIONAL REPRESENTATION OF COGNITIVE,
EMOTIONAL, AND CULTURAL STRESSORS ON HUMAN DECISION-MAKING:
A PEACEMAKING SCENARIO
My presentation will describe an approach taken by Sandia National
Labs, Albuquerque, New Mexico, to represent the cognitive, cultural,
and physiological variability in decision-making under stress. A
project focused on the computational representation of an individual
in an ambiguous, highly stressful situation while faced with a
high-consequence decision that greatly impacted subsequent events.
This project sought to demonstrate steps toward a realistic
computational representation of the variability encountered in human
behavior. A software model of a scenario adapted from a Desert Storm
incident was developed in which the framework consisted of a
computational instantiation of Recognition Primed Decision Making in
the context of a Naturalistic Decision Making model (Klein, 1997).
Recognition Primed Decision Making was augmented with an underlying
foundation based on a basic understanding of human neurophysiology
and its relationship to human cognitive processes. The goal was to
provide initial steps toward a computational representation of human
variability in cultural, cognitive, and physiological (arousal,
emotions, etc.) state in order to attain a better understanding of the
full depth of human decision-making processes in the context of
ambiguity, novelty, and heightened arousal. I will present the research
undertaken in the project, and discuss the challenges we encountered,
and provide a basis from an intercultural communication perspective
for reasons why we must be very careful in modeling cultural dynamics.
