The Leong et al., article above is the target article. One thing we will discuss is how (or whether) the model presented in the above article differs from Kruschke’s Alcove model. They may be very similar, but come from different perspectives – computational neuroscience (Leong) versus cognitive psychology (Kruschke), and focus on slightly different paradigms – decision-making versus category learning.

Platt, J.R. (1964). Strong inference.

We measure, we define, we compute, we analyze, but we do not exclude. And this is not the way to use our minds most effectively or to make the fastest progress in solving scientific questions.”
I highly recommend Simon Farrell and Stephan Lewandowsky’s book, Computational Modeling of Cognition and Behavior.
