What is a theoretical model?
A theoretical model is a quantitative description of the processes that are assumed to produce an observed phenomenon. The PCT model is a quantitative description of the processes that are thought to produce the phenomenon of purposive behavior. Most PCT models are implemented as computer programs, many of which are available as demonstrations on the web. PCT models have been built that imitate various purposeful behaviors with great accuracy. For example, you can find models on the net that imitate human tracking behavior, broom balancing, baseball catching and social interaction.
