Modeling crowd behavior is an important challenge for cognitivemodelers. Unfortunately, existing computational models aretypically not tied to cognitive science theories, and are rarelyevaluated against human crowd data. We investigate a general cognitive model ofcrowd behavior, based on Festinger's Social Comparison Theory(SCT). We evaluate the SCT model on general pedestrian movement,and validate the model against human pedestrian behavior. The results showthat SCT generates behavior more in-tune with human crowdbehavior then existing non-cognitive models. Moreover, we examine the impact of the different SCT model components on the generated pedestrian behavior.
