<h1>Cognitive Modelling for Problem
Gambling @ the Centre for the Study of
Expertise, UK </h1>
<p>
The goal of this research project is to foster the understanding of
the development of problem gambling via cognitive modelling. This work
is supported by a research fellowship from the <a
href="http://www.britac.ac.uk/" target="_top">British Academy</a>.
</p>
<p>
A number of different factors and tentative explanations for the
development of pathological gambling have been
provided by researchers in various fields, including psychology,
biology, and sociology. The precise understanding of the underlying
mechanisms is a prerequisite for effective prevention and treatment.
In this project, such theories on problem gambling are implemented
and simulated using the cognitive architecture CHREST.
