Abstract
OSSA, JULIO CÉSAR. COGNITIVE FUNCTIONING: AN INEXTRICABLE GAME OF LOSSES AND GAINS. Act.Colom.Psicol. [online]. 2011, vol.14, n.2, pp.45-55. ISSN 0123-9155.
The purpose of this paper is to refer to the Lotka-Volterra model (predator-prey) in order to address cognitive functioning and particularly classification as a mental operation. Logistic regression is used and a model is determined for explaining classification functioning in children four years old. Results show evidence pointing to an on linear function of classification. The children’s performance suggests a balance between the number of questions that the child makes and the mental operations that he must display to coordinate such information.
Keywords : Predator-prey model; logistic regression; cognitive function.
