Cognitive characteristics are modeled following the principles of Network Oriented Modeling, which allow characteristics to influence each other and evolve during the simulation. Each characteristic is modeled as an equation; weights and constant values used in equations are defined below. These are described in the IMPACT model.

Functions

combinationFunction

abstract fun combinationFunction(): Double

Algorithm which decides how the parameters involved in the evolution of this characteristic must be combined together. It can be either a max, min, summation or any other type of function.

level

open override fun level(): Double

The current intensity of this characteristic.

update

abstract fun update(frequency: Double)

Update the current intensity of this characteristic.
