Implementing a Cognitive Model in Soar and ACT-R: A Comparison
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an implementation of a cognitive model of a complex real-world task in the cognitive architecture Soar. During the implementation process there were lessons learned on various aspects, such as the retrieval of working memory elements with relative values, alternative approaches to reasoning, and reasoning control. Additionally, the implementation is compared to an earlier implementation of the model in the ACT-R architecture and both implementations are discussed in terms of cognitive theories.

Control in Act-R and Soar
The last decade has seen the emergence of a variety of cognitive architectures. This is good news, in general, for cognitive modeling, because architectures provide a readymade set of tools and theoretical constraints that can— according to architectural research methodology—assist the cognitive modeling enterprise by constraining the possible models of a set of phenomena or even making the “ri...
متن کاملDistributed Representations and “Flexible” Modularity in Hybrid Architectures
Here we discuss the role of modules and representations into cognitive architectures by comparing the “unified” approach of SOAR and ACT-R with the “decentralized” one of the Society of Mind. We introduce AKIRA, an open-source hybrid architecture and show how to exploit its features, namely distributed representations and parallel, concurrent processing for agent based cognitive modeling.
متن کاملBuilding Large Learning Models with Herbal
In this paper, we describe a high-level behavior representation language (Herbal) and report new work regarding Herbal’s ACT-R compiler. This work suggests that Herbal reduces model development time by a factor of 10 when compared to working directly in Soar, ACT-R, or Jess. We then introduce a large ACT-R model (541 rules) that we generated in approximately 8 hours. We fit the model to learnin...
متن کاملTwo Cognitive Modeling Frontiers: Emotions and Usability
This paper reviews three hybrid cognitive architectures (Soar, ACT-R, and CoJACK) and how they can support including models of emotions. There remain problems creating models in these architectures, which itself remains a research and engineering problem. Thus, the term cognitive science engineering is introduced as an area that would support making models easier to create, understand, and re-use.
متن کاملLong-term symbolic learning
What are the characteristics of long-term learning? We investigated the characteristics of long-term, symbolic learning using the Soar and ACT-R cognitive architectures running cognitive models of two simple tasks. Long sequences of problems were run collecting data to answer fundamental questions about long-term, symbolic learning. We examined whether symbolic learning continues indefinitely, ...
