This paper presents a novel framework aimed at enhancing the experimental methodology within cognitive psychology, integrating both informal and formal components to accommodate varied reasoning approaches. The framework supports the design and performing of experiments, and the structured storage of the information on outcomes in a way that is independent of specific interpretations and findings. This facilitates the replication and reproduction of the experiments and their interpretation under alternative theories. Moreover, the formal components of the information stored can be used for in silico simulation as well as within rigorous analytical approaches, such as formal methods and process mining.

摘要

This paper presents a novel framework aimed at enhancing the experimental methodology within cognitive psychology, integrating both informal and formal components to accommodate varied reasoning approaches. The framework supports the design and performing of experiments, and the structured storage of the information on outcomes in a way that is independent of specific interpretations and findings. This facilitates the replication and reproduction of the experiments and their interpretation under alternative theories. Moreover, the formal components of the information stored can be used for in silico simulation as well as within rigorous analytical approaches, such as formal methods and process mining.
