In this work, we substantiate the idea of $\textit{cognitive models as simulators}$, which is to have AI systems interact with, and collect feedback from, cognitive models instead of humans, thereby making their training process both less costly and faster.

The Availability bias, manifested in the over-representation of extreme eventualities in decision-making, is a well-known cognitive bias, and is generally taken as evidence of human irrationality.

Humans are not only adept in recognizing what class an input instance belongs to (i. e., classification task), but perhaps more remarkably, they can imagine (i. e., generate) plausible instances of a desired class with ease, when prompted.
