Abstract

Neural networks models are presented which simulate behavior of subjects taking part in a psychological experiment. Subjects are 7- and 11-year-old children without mental retardation and 11-year-old children with mild mental retardation (Educable Mentally Retarded - EMR). A base model was described in an earlier paper. A hybrid of this model and a simulated annealing network that discovers configurations for simulating these group and individual behaviors are now presented.



Key Words: Hybrid Neural Nets, psychological simulation, simulated annealing.
