Towards a Dual Process Cognitive Model for Argument Evaluation

摘要

In this paper we are interested in the computational and formal analysis of the persuasive impact that an argument can produce on a human agent. We propose a dual process cognitive computational model based on the highly influential work of Kahneman and investigate its reasoning mechanisms in the context of argument evaluation. This formal model is a first attempt to take a greater account of human reasoning and is a first step to a better understanding of persuasion processes as well as human argumentative strategies, which is crucial in collective decision making domain.
