The language is illustrated through a number of examples showing its ability to model human reasoning, problem solving, deliberate behaviour and automatic behaviour. We expect that the simple notation and its intuitive semantics may address the needs of practitioners from non matematical backgrounds, in particular psychologists, linguists and other social scientists. The language usage is twofold, aiming at the formal modelling and analysis of interactive systems and the comparison and validation of alternative models of memory and cognition.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United StatesType of access: Open AccessCognitive scienceHuman reasoningProblem solvingHuman behaviorFormal methodsConference Paper
