Скачать или смотреть GMA: Stress Testing the Framework of Scientific Models

Scientific theories are often validated by finding a perfect match between experimental data and model parameters, yet this traditional approach can be deceptive. The provided source introduces Global Model Analysis (GMA), a rigorous "stress test" that examines the entire architecture of a theory rather than just a single successful outcome. By testing all possible configurations and parameters, researchers can distinguish between coincidental accuracy and the fundamental constraints built into a model’s core design. For example, applying GMA to the ACT-R theory revealed that its sequential processing was an inherent architectural trait rather than a mere adjustment to specific data. Ultimately, this method shifts the focus from finding a "winning" set of parameters to mapping the absolute limits and hidden rules that govern how a model functions.
