Abstract

There is a need for cognitively bounded implementations of transactive memory for agents. To do this, we use schema theory and tiered social cognition to implement Mead's Generalized Other (1925). We then compared our new implementation, Construct-ML, with a prior implementation of the same simulation, Construct-O. We were not able to replicate all of the patterns suggested by Construct-O's results. However, the pattern validity of Construct-ML improves as agents have more cognitive resources, which is suggestive and interesting.
