Child Drawing Development Optimization Algorithm Based on Child’s Cognitive Development

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel metaheuristic Child Drawing Development Optimization (CDDO) algorithm inspired by the child's learning behaviour and cognitive development using the golden ratio to optimize the beauty behind their art. The golden ratio was first introduced by the famous mathematician Fibonacci. The ratio of two consecutive numbers in the Fibonacci sequence is similar, and it is called the golden ratio, which is prevalent in nature, art, architecture, and design. CDDO uses golden ratio and mimics cognitive learning and child's drawing development stages starting from the scribbling stage to the advanced pattern-based stage. Hand pressure width, length and golden ratio of the child's drawing are tuned to attain better results. This helps children with evolving, improving their intelligence and collectively achieving shared goals. CDDO shows superior performance in finding the global optimum solution for the optimization problems tested by 19 benchmark functions. Its results are evaluated against more than one state of art algorithms such as PSO, DE, WOA, GSA, and FEP. The performance of the CDDO is assessed, and the test result shows that CDDO is relatively competitive through scoring 2.8 ranks. This displays that the CDDO is outstandingly robust in exploring a new solution. Also, it reveals the competency of the algorithm to evade local minima as it covers promising regions extensively within the design space and exploits the best solution.

“…This algorithm should also be evaluated against newer algorithms such as FOX, ANA, CDDO, etc. (Mohammed and Rashid, 2022;Hama Rashid and Rashid, 2021;Abdulhameed and Rashid, 2021).…”

“…This demonstrates CDDO's exceptional tenacity in seeking new solutions. It also demonstrates the algorithm's capability to avoid local minima by thoroughly covering promising regions within the design space and exploiting the best solution [30]. The CDDO algorithm operates in the manner seen in CDDO Pseudocode.…”

Prospective teachers’ thinking through realistic mathematics education based emergent modeling in fractions

“…Children aged 8-9 years start to progress in making their mathematical system based on the object being seen and its relation to the surrounding circumstances (Lehrer & Pritchard, 2002;Abdulhameed & Rashid, 2022). Therefore, the learning process in the form of activities can be a suitable starting point to begin the development of children's mathematical characteristics.…”
