From the title it sounds like research on humans but the paper is actually all about a simple software model of a group of entities going 'foraging' The model is using a program called NetLogo https://github.com/NetLogo/NetLogo https://github.com/NetLogo/NetLogo https://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/index.shtml https://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/index.shtml Source code for the model used in this paper https://figshare.com/articles/software/Netlogo_code_supporting_Personality_variation_is_eroded_by_simple_social_behaviours_in_collective_foragers_/19391651 https://figshare.com/articles/software/Netlogo_code_supporti... Seems like a fun program, you set up 'turtles' and give them attributes and rules and then watch them roam around I thought this was interesting: ;adding individual noise into the speeds of individuals, to avoid computational problems caused by all individuals being on top of each other in a cell ask turtles [ set individual-speed 0.95 + random-float 0.05 ] Like, seems like a good idea to add the random speed but why does having all the turtles in one cell cause such a problem?
