Abstract
The two ER models presented so far were rather different concerning their function and scientific question. The first one, modelling research in human motor control (chapter 4) has shown how ER simulations can generate proofs of concept that can rather directly resonate with hands-on scientific research. The second model, tackling a general architectural proposal in neuroscientific theory (chapter 5), demonstrates a more abstract philosophical value of ER models, i.e., to point out implicitly held prior assumptions in a theory and illustrate logical consequences from such assumptions that are counter-intuitive or difficult to understand. Applying ER modelling to simple sensorimotor perception research combines the merits of both approaches, i.e., the concreteness and ‘meatiness’ of the scientific ER modelling and the application to questions central to cognitive science, like the questions addressed with the theory-driven model of value systems. The question addressed here is about human perception of agency.
