Recent cognitive modeling studies suggest the effectiveness of meta-heuristic optimization in describing human cognitive behaviors. Such models are built on the basis of population-based algorithm (e.g., genetic algorithm) and thus hold multiple solutions or notions. There are, however, important yet unaddressed issues in cognitive mechanisms associated with possession of multiple notions. The issues we address in the present research is about how multiple notions are organized in our mind. In particular, we paid close attention to how each notion interact with other notions while learning a new concept. In so doing, we incorporated Particle Swarm Optimization in a cognitive model of concept learning. Three PSO-based concept learning models were developed and compared in the present exploratory cognitive modeling study.
