A System for Interactive Behaviour Simulation.

A psycho-ecological model is used as the basis for a simulation of interactive behavior strategies. The basic unit is an event, and each event has been recorded on closed circuit television videotape. The three basic paradigms of behavioral science--association, structure, and process--are used to anchor the simulations. The empirical foundation for each paradigm is described, as well as the simulator as an objective and reliable instrument. Exploratory evaluations of adaptive behavior simulation suggest that the main influence on development of behavior strategies has been the association paradigm. A brief list of references is attached. (Author/BK)
